One of the most senior members of al-Qaeda held at Guantánamo took injections “to promote impotence” to avoid being “distracted” by women, according to evidence uncovered by investigators.

Abd al-Rahim Hussein Muhammad Abdah al-Nashiri, a Saudi Arabian, was said to have reported directly to Osama bin Laden. His interrogators reported: “Detainee is so dedicated to jihad that he reportedly received injections to promote impotence and recommended the injections to others.”
He received the injections “so more time could be spent on jihad – rather than being distracted by women”.
According to the notes, al-Nashiri was allegedly “the senior operative” in the attack on USS Cole, an American destroyer, in October 2000. Seventeen US sailors were killed in the suicide attack in a Yemeni port, while dozens were injured.
Al-Nashiri is described as “one of al-Qaeda’s most skilled and capable operational coordinators” and was also accused of planning the suicide attack that badly damaged the MV Limburg, a French oil tanker, in 2002. The attacks were allegedly planned under bin Laden’s direct orders. According to interrogators, al-Nashiri was “linked to as many as a dozen plots to attack US and Western interests” and his cell “was responsible for conducting suicide and sabotage operations outside Afghanistan”.
