  4. Detainee closed the Herat al Wafa[7] and transferred to run the Kandahar al Wafa office[8] after September 2001.
  5. The nongovernmental organization 'al Wafa' reportedly is believed to possibly be a terrorist organization and may have had connections to Usama bin Ladin and Afghan Mujahedin.

Summary of Evidence memos were drafted for Al Utaybi's annual reviews in 2005 and 2006.[10][11] The 2005 memo was two pages long and listed 18 factors favoring continued detention and 5 factors favoring release or transfer. The 2006 memo was three pages long. His name was listed as "Bendar Al Ataybi" on the memo. It listed 11 factors favoring continued detention and 6 factors favoring release or transfer.

Repatriation

The Department of Defense published the dates captives departed from Guantanamo on 26 November 2008.[12] According to that list Abdullah Ali Al Utaybi was repatriated on December 28, 2007.

On January 9, 2009 the Department of Defense published the records for the third set of Administrative Review Board hearings, conducted in 2007 and early 2008.[13] According to those records no review was scheduled for Al Utaybi in 2007. According to the records of the 2005 and 2006 Board hearings, those boards had not recommended his repatriation.[14][15] Like the other nine men Al Utaybi was repatriated in spite of the Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants recommending his continued detention in US custody.
