Abdul Ghafour

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.

Ghulam Nabi

Ghulam Nabi was a Pakistani militant involved with the Taliban and had fought against the pro-American Northern Alliance in Afghanistan during the US-led war in Afghanistan.

A video obtained by the Associated Press on 20 April 2007 shows a young boy, looking to be around 12 years of age, viciously beheading a man identified as Nabi. According to the AP report, "A continuous 2½-minute shot then shows the victim lying on his side on a patch of rubble-strewn ground. A man holds Nabi by his beard while the boy, wearing a camouflage military jacket and oversized white sneakers, cuts into the throat. Other men and boys call out "Allahu akbar!" — "God is great!" — as blood spurts from the wound. The film, overlain with nasheeds, then shows the boy hacking and slashing at the man's neck until the head is severed."

The beheading was condemned and called a "new low" by Sam Zarifi of Human Rights Watch, and also condemned by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.

But unlike every other captive's records, his weights are missing. Three other fields recorded for almost every other captive—his "inprocess date", his height, and his "inprocess weight" -- are also missing.

Repatriation

On November 25, 2009, the Department of Defense published a list of the dates captives were transferred from Guantanamo.^[9] According to that list Abdul Bagi was transferred on February 8, 2006.

Bismullah

Template:Infobox WoT detainees Haji Bismullah is a citizen of Afghanistan who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States's Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.^[1] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 968. American intelligence analysts estimate Bismullah was born in 1979 and was from Musa Qala, Afghanistan.

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captives from the war on terror.^[2] This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.

Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were lawful combatants -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an enemy combatant.

Summary of Evidence memo

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Bismullah's Combatant Status Review Tribunal, on 26 October 2004. ^[3] The memo listed the following allegations against him:

3. Fidayan Islam is a terrorist organization in Afghanistan targeting United States and Coalition forces.
4. The detainee was directed to identify' and kill local Afghanis who were assisting U.S. forces.
5. The detainee was detained by American forces in Gereshk Village, Baghram District, which is located in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

b. The detainee directly supported hostilities in aid of enemy armed forces.

1. The Detainee provided information concerning movements of U.S. forces in Helmand Province of Afghanistan to insurgent operatives opposed to U.S. forces.

Abdul Hafiz

Abdul Hafiz is a citizen of Afghanistan who was held for six and a half years in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.^[1][2] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 1030. American intelligence analysts estimate he was born in 1961.

According to the Associated Press the allegations against Hafiz, in his Combatant Status Review Tribunal, said he worked for a Taliban militia.^[3] They state that when he was captured he had in his possession a satellite phone that was "linked to a slaying".

The detainee claimed that he wasn't Abdul Hafiz at all, that his name was really Abdul Qawi.^[3] He said he was given the satellite phone by the real Abdul Hafiz, and didn't even know how to use it.

According to the Associated Press he complained about not being able to view the evidence against him, and told his Tribunal: "In our culture, if someone is accused of something, they are shown the evidence."

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Combatant Status Review Tribunals were usually held in a trailer.

Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captives from the war on terror. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.

Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were lawful combatants -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an enemy combatant.

Summary of Evidence memo

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Abdul Hafiz's Combatant Status Review Tribunal, on 4 October 2005. A copy with some marginal notations, and his name redacted, was released in March 2005. This memo was one of 169 released in 2005, that although redacted, had the captives ISN transcribed on them.^[4] Another copy without the marginal notation was released in September 2007.^[5] The memo listed the following allegations against him:

• The detainee is a member of the Taliban and al Qaida.

1. The detainee was affiliated with the death of two individuals in Kabul, Afghanistan, and worked for the Taliban 40-Man Militia group under a known Taliban commander.

Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual Administrative Review Board hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".

They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat—or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.

Norullah Noori

Template:Infobox WoT detainees Mullah Norullah Noori is a citizen of Afghanistan held in extrajudicial detention in the United States's Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.^[1] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number is 6. Intelligence analysts estimated he was born in 1967 in Shajoie, Afghanistan.

Norullah Noori arrived at Guantanamo on January 11, 2001, and has been held there for Template:For year month day.^[2][3][4] The allegations used to justify his detention in Guantanamo assert he was an interim Provincial Governor -- of Jalalabad Template:sic, temporary governor of Mazari Sharif Template:sic and Governor of Balkh Province.^[5][6]

Held aboard the USS Bataan

Former Taliban Ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Salam Zaeef described being flown to the United States Navy's amphibious warfare vessel, the USS Bataan, for special interrogation.^[7] Zaeef wrote that the cells were located six decks down, were only 1 meter by 2 meters. He wrote that the captives weren't allowed to speak with one another, but that he "eventually saw that Mullahs Fazal, Noori, Burhan, Wasseeq Sahib and Rohani were all among the other prisoners." Historian Andy Worthington, author of the The Guantanamo Files, identified Noori as one of the men Zaeef recognized. He identified Mullah Wasseeq as Abdul-Haq Wasiq, Mullah Rohani as Gholam Ruhani and Mullah Fazal as Mohammed Fazil.

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Combatant Status Review Tribunals were held in a 3 x 5 meter trailer. The captive sat with his hands and feet shackled to a bolt in the floor.^[8][9] Three chairs were reserved for members of the press, but only 37 of the 574 Tribunals were observed.^[10]

Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captives from the war on terror.^[11] This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.

Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were lawful combatants -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an enemy combatant.

Summary of Evidence memo

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Mullah Norullah Noori's Combatant Status Review Tribunal, on August 8, 2004.^[12] The memo listed the following allegations against him:

a. The detainee is a member of the Taliban.

1. The detainee traveled to Kabul to serve as a security guard for a Taliban official.
2. He leater worked as a security guard for the governor of Jalalabad carrying a Kalashnikov rifle.
3. In 2000 the detainee moved to Mazar-E Sharif where he was a member of a 10-12 man team who provided security to the Governor.
4. He was armed with a Kalashnikov while on guard duty.
5. The detainee served as the acting governor in Mazar-E Sharif for 8 to 9 months prior to his capture.

b. The detainee participated in military operations against the coalition.

1. He was fighting on the front lines at Masar-E-Sharif as a Taliban fighter. As the front lines in Masar-E-Sharif fell, he moved with a moajority of the remaining fighters to Kunduz to reestablish the front lines.
2. He participated in a meeting where Taliban leaders decided to surrender to the Northern Alliance.
3. He was captured by Northern Alliance forces along with a Taliban leader and five Taliban soldiers.
