Donald Rumsfeld, who quit as US defence secretary last week, is facing a lawsuit in Germany over alleged abuses at Guantanamo Bay and in Iraq.
The complaint was filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights, a lawyers' group, on behalf of a Saudi man held in Cuba and 11 Iraqis held in Baghdad.
German law allows the pursuit of cases originating anywhere in the world.
The Center made a similar request in 2004 but German prosecutors dropped that case.
