M. K. B. v. Warden

M. K. B. v. Warden, 540 U.S. 804 (2003),[1] 540 U.S. 1213 (2004),[2] is a sealed case in South Florida.

M.K.B. are the initials of Mohamed Kamel Bellahouel, an immigrant Algerian waiter who was interviewed by federal officials.[3][4][5] He has reportedly been freed on a $10,000 bond. The only information about the case was inadvertently released and reported by The Christian Science Monitor. In 2004, the United States Supreme Court notably sided with the government's request to grant the case total secrecy.
