When Soufan is Yemen in September 2001, he is being transported around in a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban.
While interrogating Abu Jandal, Agent Soufan places the Holy Qur'an in front of him. The book is placed with the spine on the left of Jandal. Arabic is read from right to left. As a Muslim and person from Lebanon, Agent Soufan would have known to place the book down the other way for Jandal to open and read.
