WASHINGTON — Congressional officials confirm that an internal government report written in 2004 reveals that CIA interrogators threatened one of their prisoners with a gun and a power drill.

The account was reported Friday by Newsweek magazine, which said interrogators brandished the weapons during an interrogation of suspected USS Cole bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. He was captured in November 2002.

A federal judge has ordered the report to be released next week in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union.
