Abdul Ghaffar (Arabic: عبد الغÙار) and Abdul Ghafoor (Arabic: عبد الغÙور) are two related male Muslim given names, and, in modern usage, surnames. They are built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and either Ghaffar or Ghafoor respectively. Both names mean "servant of the All-forgiving", Al-GhaffÄr and Al-GhafÅ«r being two of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.[1][2]
Abdul Ghafar is a common name in the Arabic-speaking world, and the same name as six persons around whom many allegations and speculations have been made, including whether these persons are who they are said to be and whether three of them exist at all.
He is allegedly a citizen of Afghanistan.
Abdul Ghaffar #1[edit]
He is allegedly the same person who was identified as a mujahideen fighter during the Combatant Status Review Tribunal of a Guantanamo captive.[3]
It has been claimed that he is the same person as another alleged person, Maulvi Abdul Ghaffar, who is supposed to have been a Taliban leader who escaped by feigning ignorance.
Guantanamo captive Muhibullah faced the allegation, during his Combatant Status Review Tribunal, that:[3]
- "The Detainee acquired a rifle from a Mujahideen fighter, Abdul Ghafar."
Muhibullah denied knowing anyone named Abdul Ghafar.[3] He acknowledged being conscripted into the Taliban. He acknowledged being assigned to be a security guard. He acknowledged handling a rifle, when it was his sentry watch. But he said he and the other sentries had just one rifle to share among themselves, and that he never fired this weapon.
The allegation that Muhibullah received a rifle from Abdul Ghafar is notable because the files of US counterterrorism analysts contain records of several individuals named Abdul Ghafar, or some variation thereof. But the intelligence analysts who prepared the allegations failed to identify, in the unclassified summary of evidence, from which individual named Abdul Ghafar, Muhibullah was accused of accepting a rifle.
Five other individuals with the same or similar name[edit]
