Ahmad al Halabi was an airman in the United States Air Force, who faced 32 charges when serving in Guantanamo detention camp.[1][2][3][4] A faction within the camp's security officials suspected that the base's Muslim chaplain, James Yee, and several muslim servicemen working on the base, like al Halabi, had somehow conspired to help the captives. However all the investigators found there wasn't a scrap of evidence to back up the fears of those security officials.
