He arrived in Guantanamo on June 10, 2002, and was repatriated to Afghanistan on March 14, 2004.[2][3]

Guantanamo medical records

On 16 March 2007 the Department of Defense published medical records for the captives.[4][5] The Department of Defense did not publish any medical record for Abdullah Ghofoor.

Repatriation

On November 25, 2009, the Department of Defense published a list of the dates captives were transferred from Guantanamo.[3] According to that list Abdullah Ghofoor was transferred on March 14 2004.

Claim he re-engaged in terrorist activity

On May 27, 2009, the Defense Intelligence Agency published a "fact sheet" that asserted he had "re-engaged in terrorism" following his repatriation.[6] The DIA fact sheet asserted he was a Taliban commander. The DIA fact sheet stated he was "planning attacks on U.S. and Afghan forces" and was "killed in a raid by Afghan security forces."
