On January 15, 2010, the Department of Defense complied with a court order and published a list of Captives held in the Bagram Theater Internment Facility that included the name Malang Zafar.[1][2][3] His ISN was 1286.
There were 645 names on the list, which was dated September 22, 2009, and was heavily redacted.[1][2]
According to historian Andy Worthington, author of the The Guantanamo Files, someone named Malang Zafar was reported to have been apprehended, at a roadblock, by British Army Gurkhas, in December 2003.[3] He was reported to have been a Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin "chief of operations". He was “suspected of organizing a bus bombing in June that killed four German soldiers”.
