The White House reports that they have captured a senior al Qaida leader named Abu Yasir Al Jaza'iri.[1]
The Summary of Evidence memo prepared for Guantanamo captive Ali Abdullah Ahmed's Combatant Status Review Tribunal on 1 November 2004, and the Summary of Evidence memo prepared for his first annual Administrative Review Board, on 26 May 2005 alleged[2][3]:
- "Senior Al Qaida facilitator Abu Yasir Al Jaza'iri identified the detainee."
The memo prepared for his second Administrative Review Board, on 8 March 2006 listed the following factor favoring Ali Abdullah Ahmed's release or transfer[4]:
-
The detainee denied ever knowing Abu Yasir or Abu Zabayda [sic] . The detainee denied ever being in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The detainee stated he went to Pakistan to study the Koran and was not involved with the Taliban or al Qaida. The detainee said he was innocent. The detainee denied ever having stayed at the Abu Suhaib.
Ali Abdullah Ahmed is one of the three Guantanamo captives who was reported to have committed suicide on June 10, 2006.
[edit] Current location
On September 6, 2006 fourteen "high-value detainees" were transferred. from CIA custody in its network of clandestine overseas interrogation centers, to military custody in Guantanamo. United States President George W. Bush announced that, with this transfer, the CIA's network of interrogation centers had been emptied. However Abu Yasir Al Jaza'iri's name does not match any names on the list of CIA captives, or on the list of original Guantanamo captives.
