Abdullah Ghofoor (born 1971) was a citizen of Afghanistan who was held in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1] American counter-terrorism analysts estimate he was born in 1971, in Keshai, Afghanistan.
He arrived in Guantanamo on June 10, 2002, and was repatriated to Afghanistan on March 14, 2004.[2][3]
Repatriation
[edit]On November 25, 2009, the United States 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.
Suspected of becoming a Taliban leader after release
[edit]The Defense Intelligence Agency suspected that Ghofoor had become a Taliban leader after his release from Guantanamo. It stated that Ghofoor was eventually killed in a raid but did not say when he was killed.[4][5]
