Enduring security threat
From WikiAlpha
Enduring security threat is a classification the United States applies to individuals captured by the USA, when the US can't supply evidence of criminal or militant activity, and yet they still consider the individuals to be so potentially dangerous they should be held in ongoing extrajudicial detention.[1][2] The classification became a source of discord between the Governments of the United States and Afghanistan, when the two nations started to negotiate the handover of the USA's internment camps near the Bagram Airport.
