There are multiple individuals named Abdul Ghaffar.

<div/> Haji Abdul Ghafour was identified during Guantanamo detainee Juma Din's Administrative Review Board hearing as a senior Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin leader. Juma Din was alleged to have served as Ghafour's bodyguard.

There were two, or possibly three, other Guantanamo detainees named Abdul Ghafour. The US Department of Defense released what they described as a full official list of all the detainees captured during the war on terror, who had been held in Guantanamo, in military custody.[1] That list has entries for an Abdul Ghaffar, reported to have been born in Kandahar in 1958, and an Abdul Ghafour, reported to have been born in Pattia Province in 1962.[2][3]

There are press reports of a third Guantanamo detainee named Abdul Ghafour -- Maulvi Abdul Ghafour.[4][5][6] The press reports assert that this Adbul Ghafour convinced his interrogators that he was an innocuous illiterate villager, and was one of the first detainees to be released. The Press reports assert that he was one of the detainees who "returned to the battlefield", assuming a leadership position within the Taliban, and subsequently being killed in combat.

Another Abdul Ghafoour, a Haji Abdul Ghafour is described during Juma Din's Administrative Review Board hearing.[7] Juma Din was alleged to have been a bodyguard for an Abdul Ghafour, who was described as a senior leader in the Hezb-E-Islami Gulbuddin.

Many militia groups fought to liberate Afghanistan from Soviet occupation. When the Communists were driven out the militia groups entered into alliances, and fought civil wars, with one another. The Hezb-E-Islami Gulbuddin and the Taliban were rival groups during the civil war.
