The United States and several other countries have committed human rights violations against a Saudi man held in the Guantanamo prison and accused of organising the bombing of the USS Cole in the port of Aden in 2000, a U.N. report said.

Abd al Rahim al Nashiri could face the death penalty if convicted for his alleged role in the attack.
