Abdullah Hamid Al Qhatani (Arabic: عبد الله حامد القحطاني) is a Saudi Arabian citizen who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, in Cuba.[1] His detainee ID is 652. US intelligence analysts estimate he was born in 1979, in Mecca.
On March 3, 2006, in partial compliance to a court order from US District Court Justice Jed Rakoff, the United States Department of Defense started releasing official documents revealing the identities of Guantanamo detainees. They released transcripts and statements from the Combatant Status Review Tribunals (CSRT) and Administrative Review Board hearings. Abdullah Hamid Al Qahtani did not participate in either his CSRT or his ARB.
On April 20, 2006 the DoD released the names of 558 detainees for whom a CSRT met to reviewe whether they had previously been correctly classified as "enemy combatants". Abdullah Hamid Al Qahtani's case would have been considered by a CSRT.
