Abdul Qudus is a citizen of Afghanistan, held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1] His Internment Serial Number is 929. American intelligence officials estimate that he was born in 1988, in Nadali, Afghanistan, making him notable for being the youngest person ever detained at Guantanamo Bay.[2]

Combatant Status Review
Qudus was among the 60% of prisoners who participated in the tribunal hearings.[3] A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for the tribunal of each detainee. The memo for his hearing lists the following:[4][5]
- The detainee attempted to engage in hostilities against the United States.
- The detainee asked Afghan soldiers for weapons to fight American. [sic]
- The detainee is associated with individuals willing to participate in attacks against Americans.
- The detainee was captured in January 2003, by Afghan Military Forces in Gershk, Afghanistan after attempting to obtain weapons to kill Americans.
On March 3, 2006, in response to a court order from Jed Rakoff the Department of Defense published a six page summarized transcript from his Combatant Status Review Tribunal.[6]
Determined not to have been an Enemy Combatant
Abdul Qudus was one of the 38 captives the Bush Presidency determined had not been enemy combatants after all.[7] The Department of Defense refers to these men as No Longer Enemy Combatants.
Controversy over the number of minors
There has been an ongoing controversy over the number of minors the USA has held in Guantanamo.[8][9] The first and only full list of captives, that the Department of Defense published on May 15, 2006, listed 22 captives who were under 18 at the time of their capture. But, in a report to Unicef the Department of Defense claimed that only eight minors had been held in Guantanamo. When confronted by reporters the Department of Defense revised their report, asserting that twelve minors had been held at Guantanamo. According to the Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas at the University of California at Davis Abdul Qudus was one of the youths whose names were in dispute.
