Template:Dablink Abdul Ghafar is a citizen of Afghanistan who was identified as a mujahideen fighter during the Combatant Status Review Tribunal of a Guantanamo captive.[1]
Guantanamo captive Muhibullah faced the allegation, during his Combatant Status Review Tribunal, that:[1]
- "The Detainee acquired a rifle from a Mujahideen fighter, Abdul Ghafar."
Muhibullah denied knowing anyone named Abdul Ghafar.[1] He acknowledged being conscripted into the Taliban. He acknowledged being assigned to be a security guard. He acknowledged handling a rifle, when it was his sentry watch. But he said he and the other sentries had just one rifle to share among themselves, and that he never fired this weapon.
The allegation that Muhibullah received a rifle from Abdul Ghafar is notable because the files of US counterterrorism analysts contain records of several individuals named Abdul Ghafar, or some variation thereof. But the intelligence analysts who prepared the allegations failed to identify, in the unclassified summary of evidence, from which individual named Abdul Ghafar, Muhibullah was accused of accepting a rifle.
