He was formally charged in June 2008, and faces the [[death penalty]], accused of [[war crimes]], at the [[Guantanamo military commission]]s on charges that he spied on American troops and prepared to launch a rocket attack.<ref>Melia, Michael, [[Miami Herald]] [http://www.miamiherald.com/news/world/AP/story/555625.html Chief Gitmo judge defends tribunals], June 2, 2008</ref> He claims to have helped [[Osama bin Laden]] escape from Afghanistan and was also charged with "[[providing material support for terrorism]]", but critics have suggested he is either delusional or exaggerating.

He claims that he does not harbour any hate or idealogues opposed o Americans, and had joined the Afghan military under [[Taliban]] rule five years earlier simply because he needed a job.<ref name=CsrtMohammedHashim/>

[[Carol Rosenberg]], of the ''[[Miami Herald]]'' writes that his repatriation was endorsed by officials at various US agenciesâ€”after receiving security assurances from the government of Afghanistan that he would be processed ''"consistent with the national security interests of the United States"''.<ref name=ClevelandPlainDealer2009-12-20>

Rosenberg described the dismissal of his charges as: ''"the first about-face in a military commissions prosecution that was not mandated by a federal judge."''

==Life==

Hashim lived with his parents, as their only unmarried child, while his two sisters had each married. He joined the Taliban military because he needed the money, and fought at the battles of Konduz and Mazar-e-Sharif prior to the 2001 [[War in Afghanistan (2001â€“present)|US Invasion of Afghanistan]].<ref name=CsrtMohammedHashim/>

He later said that his work with Osama bin Laden's Arab volunteers meant that he heard discussion of 20 pilots about to fly planes into American buildings, including from the [[Northern Alliance]] enemy commander [[Mohammed Khan]] who maintained ties with the group.<ref name=CsrtMohammedHashim/>

He also claims to have been close to [[Abdul Razak (disambiguation)|Abdul Razak]], and prior to November 2001 drove to [[Jalalabad]] with Razak to pick up bin Laden and take him to the Pakistani border regions in a small convoy led by Hajji Zaher, and left him a Soviet jeep and a pick-up truck to cross the border himself.<ref name=CsrtMohammedHashim/> Over the next month, Hashim says he visited Kabul, Meydan Shahr, Ghazni, Qalat and stopped in Kandahar for several days during [[Ramadan]].<ref name=CsrtMohammedHashim/> There, he was in a group of 40 people led by [[Abdul Wahed]], with Razaq as his lieutenant, and [[Asmatullah]], [[Haji Gader]], [[Gul Ahmed]] and [[Jano Popalzai]] also present.<ref name=CsrtMohammedHashim/> Here, he says he was asked to serve as a "spy" who would help import weapons from neighbouring countries.

His stories have been dismissed as "fantasy" by critics who allege he is either delusional or lying about his fantastic connections and actions.<ref name="worth">[[Andy Worthington|Worthington, Andy]], "[http://www.andyworthington.co.uk/2008/06/04/afghan-fantasist-to-face-trial-at-guantanamo/ Afghan Fantasist to Face Trial at Guantanamo]", June 4, 2008</ref>

==Capture and imprisonment==
Hashim was captured by Afghan forces who found him unarmed measuring lengths near Mullah [[Mohammed Omar]]'s residence and asking locals about security arrangements. He was accused of plotting a ranged [[mortar (weapon)|mortar]] or [[rocket]] attack, but was released. He was taken back into custody shortly afterwards, and turned over to American troops.<ref name=CsrtMohammedHashim/>

==Administrative Review Board==
Detainees whose [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]] labeled them "enemy combatants" were scheduled for annual [[Administrative Review Board]] hearings. These hearings were designed to assess the threat a detainee may pose if released or transferred, and whether there are other factors that warrant his continued detention.<ref>

== Combatant Status Review ==
{{main|Combatant Status Review Tribunal}}

Hashim was among the 60% of prisoners who chose to participate in tribunal hearings.<ref>[[OARDEC]], [http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/detainees/csrt_arb/index_CSRT_detainees_testimony.pdf Index to Transcripts of Detainee Testimony and Documents Submitted by Detainees at Combatant Status Review Tribunals Held at Guantanamo Between July 2004 and March 2005], September 4, 2007</ref> A [[Summary of Evidence (CSRT)|Summary of Evidence memo]] was prepared for the tribunal of each detainee.

Hashim's memo accused him of the following:<ref name=CsrtMohammedHashim>[http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/detainees/csrt_arb/ DoD detainees ARB] Set_34_2426-2457.pdf#17 Summarized transcripts (.pdf)], from Mohammed Hashim's ''[[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]'' - pages 17-19</ref>
[http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Summarized_Unsworn_Detainee_Statement_(ISN_850,_Mohammed_Hashim) Summarized Unsworn Detainee Statement (ISN 850, Mohammed Hashim)]
Hashim agreed that he had helped bin Laden escape American pursuers, and did not dispute any of the unclassified evidence against him, but stressed that it was just a paying job for him and he didn't fight for any ideologies. He concluded the unclassified session of his Tribunal with the comment:
{{Quotation|Now that I've seen Americans, they are nice people. The people used to give us lectures that America was bad, but I never listened to them because I was just there to make money.}}

There is no evidence that Administrative Review Board hearings were convened in 2005 or 2006.
A 6 page [[Summary of Evidence (ARB)|Summary of Evidence memo]] was drafted on January 14, 2008.<ref name=Arb3MemoIsn850>
