Jabran Said Wazar Al Qahtani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- There are over half a dozen Guantanamo detainees named al Qahtani, including the similarly named detainee 650:: Jabir Hasan Muhamed Al Qahtani.
Jabran Said bin Al Qahtani is a Saudi who is detained in Camp Delta, at the United States Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, in Cuba. Al Qahtani's detainee ID number is 696.[1]
On November 7, 2005, the United States charged Jabran and four other detainees. The Bush administration intends to prosecute these detainees before a military commission. Qahtani, Sufyian Barhoumi, Binyam Ahmed Muhammad, and Ghassan Abdullah al Sharbi face conspiracy to murder charges. Omar Khadr faces both murder and conspiracy to murder charges.
Al Qahtani, Barhoumi and Al Sharbi have been dubbed "The Faisalabad Three".[2] The three were captured together with a senior member of the al Qaeda leadership, Abu Zubaydah, in a safehouse in Faisalabad, Pakistan. The three are believed to have been members of Zubaydah's entourage. All three keep insisting they want to defend themselves.
