Before the Tribunal's President proceeded, he addressed a promise made to Sarajuddin by one of his interrogators. Sarajuddin's interrogator had, apparently, promised him that "if he swore an oath on the Koran, and provided a statement, he'd be set free. The Qur’an ( القرآن, literally "the recitation" also sometimes transliterated as Qur’ān, Koran, Alcoran "
The Tribunal's President explained the Tribunal had nothing to do with previous promises; he hoped that Sarajuddin would choose to swear an oath, but that doing so wouldn't guarantee release.
Sarajuddin described agreeing to a request by a tribal elder, Nazim, to speak to people in four neighboring village, asking them to rally in opposition to the Taliban, at the time the USA was about to attack. The Taliban ( طالبان, also anglicised as Taleban; translation "students" is a Sunni Islamist, predominately The tribal elder, named Nasim, made the request on behalf of Pacha Khan.

Sarajuddin said he still doesn't understand why the Americans killed his family and took him captive.
At this point the Tribunal President wanted to give Sarajuddin an opportunity to answer each allegation one at a time. But Sarajuddin's Personal Representative convinced him that Sarajuddin's statement had answered all the allegations but one -- whether Pacha Khan was a renegade. Sarajuddin responded that Khan was working with the Americans at the time of his capture, and that he didn't feel responsible for what he might have done after his capture. According to the February 2, 2002 New York Times article Pacha Khan was one of the two politicians competing for American support over the city of Khost.

Gardēz is the capital of the Paktiā province of Afghanistan. They didn't have any kind of radio. He didn't know why the Americans bombed their house.

Sarajuddin denied that there was any firing when he was captured.
Sarajuddin denied that he possessed a transceiver, or that anyone he knew possesses a transceiver.
