Usama Hassan Ahmed Abu Kabir is a citizen of Jordan who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1]
Press reports
On July 12, 2006 the magazine Mother Jones provided excerpts from the transcripts of a selection of the Guantanamo detainees.[2] The article informed readers:
- More than a dozen detainees were cited for owning cheap digital watches, particularly “the infamous Casio watch of the type used by Al Qaeda members for bomb detonators.”
The article quoted Kabir, and three other watch owners:
- "I have a Casio watch because they are inexpensive and they last a long time. I like my watch because it is durable. It had a calculator and was waterproof, and before prayers we have to wash up all the way to my elbows."
Repatriation and release
Three Jordanians named Osama Hassan Kabir, Ahmed Hassan Suleiman and Ibrahim Mahdi Zeidan were repatriated to Jordanian custody in early November 2007.[3] Jordanian authorities held the men for a week, while they: "underwent medical tests to ensure they were medically sound." The men were released from Jordanian custody on November 11, 2007.
