does not mention the contents of the automobile seized, the lack of physical evidence of the blood in the car, and questions *39 the veracity of the Staff Sergeant's declaration, which was submitted four years after the raid. (Hearing Tr. Sept. 30, 2010 PM, 40:10-17; 41:4-7.) However, other than the arguments of counsel, there is nothing to indicate that the Staff Sergeant had, or would have, falsified his sworn statements to the Court. Moreover, the Staff Sergeant noted in his 2010 declaration that this automobile was found underneath a tarp,[Redacted] Accordingly, I find no reason to distrust the statements made by the Staff Sergeant regarding the discovery of the taxi and its contents, including the residue of dried blood. This fact, of course, is consistent with the preraid intelligence claim that petitioner was seen using a vehicle to ferry wounded individuals to a local hospital, once again corroborating the government's intelligence.

5. Petitioner's relationship with Karim Bostan
Finally, as for the petitioner's relationship to Karim Bostan, I would, of course, be remiss to unnecessarily plunge head-first into an analysis of Bostan's alleged ties to al Qaeda as chronicled at length by former Guantanamo detainee Adel Al Zamel (ISN 568). Indeed, unraveling the considerable evidence regarding Al Zamel's credibilityat this pointwould be a major project that no court would likely undertake unless absolutely necessary. Fortunately, in this case, it is not.
Notwithstanding Al Zamel's accounts, it is well-established that petitioner had a long-standing relationship of both a business and personal nature with Karim Bostan. Bostan is also an Afghan citizen from the Khost region who was Obaydullah's business partner. (Gov't Exs. 22, 29, 31.) The two were also both members of a religious organization called Jamaat al-Tabligh, which, though officially apolitical, has been used as a cover by members of some terrorist groups, including al Qaeda. (Hearing Tr., Sept. 30, 2010 PM, 59:11-12; Gov't Exs. 29, 24, 45, 64.)
