Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi, a Kuwaiti

Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi was released from GTMO in Nov 2005 with 4 other Kuwaitis.

He confessed he was in Afghanistan fighting with the Taliban against the Northern Alliance. He also confessed he fought on the front line for eight months.

Al-Ajmi claimed he was in Afghanistan studying the Quran.

He recanted his confessions because he claimed he had been threatened at GTMO.

In April 2008 al-Ajmi he blew himself up in a suicide attack in Mosul, Iraq. He murdered 13 Iraqi policemen. He entered Iraq through Syria.

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Abdallah Salih Ali Al Ajmi's Administrative Review Board, on 4 February 2005. The memo listed eleven "primary factors favoring continued detention".

Al Ajmi is a Taliban fighter:
Al Ajmi went AWOL from the Kuwaiti military in order to travel to Afghanistan participate in Jihad.
Al Ajmi was issued an AK-47, ammunition and hand grenades by the Taliban.
Al Ajmi participated in military operations against the coalition.
Al Ajmi admitted he was in Afghanistan fighting with the Taliban in the Bagram area.
Al Ajmi was placed in a defensive position by the Taliban in order to block the Northern Alliance. Al Ajmi admitted spending eight months on the front line at the Aiubi Center, Afghanistan.
Al Ajmi admitted engaging in two or three fire fights with the Northern Alliance.
Al Ajmi retreated to the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan and was later captured as he attempted to escape to Pakistan.
Al Ajmi is committed to jihad.
Al Ajmi went AWOL because he wanted to participate in jihad in Afghanistan but could not get leave from the military.
In Aug 2004, Al Ajmi wanted to make sure that when his case goes before the Tribunal, they know that he now is a Jihadist, an enemy combatant, and that he will kill as many Americans as he possibly can.
Upon arrival at GTMO, Al Ajmi has been constantly in trouble. Al Ajmi's overall behavior was aggressive and non-compliant, and he has resided in GTMO's disciplinary blocks throughout his detention.
Based upon a review of recommendations from U.S. agencies and classified and unclassified documents, Al Ajmi is regarded as a continued threat to the United States and its Allies.

Al-Ajmi said the following at one of GTMO hearings: I don't blame the Americans for what they did by bringing us over here and detaining us over here. If I were in their place I would go out and look for terrorism all over the world like they did but I have a feeling it is going to be a just decision by the Americans. That is my feeling. I would do the same thing if I were in their shoes. I would capture the bad people, the terrorists and bring them over here and detain them.

Al Ajmi was repatriated to Kuwait, and taken into Kuwaiti custody on November 3, 2005.
Al Ajmi was freed, on bail, while he awaited trial. Al-Ajmi and the four other Kuwaiti stood trial in March 2006, and were acquitted on July 22, 2006.

The two main charges were that the detainees had helped fund Al Wafa, an Afghan charity with ties to Al Qaeda, and that they had fought alongside the Taliban. Further, the prosecution argued that the detainees actions had endangered Kuwait's political standing and its relations with friendly nations.

The detainees' defense had argued that testimony secured in Guantanamo could not be used in Kuwaiti courts, because the detainees and interrogators hadn't signed them. Further, they had argued, the allegations the USA had directed at them weren't violations of Kuwaiti law.

Mr. President you should be very careful not to release these types of people from GTMO. Someone has blood on their hands for allowing Al-Ajmi to murder 13 Iraqis. There are now approximately 250 prisoners left at GTMO. When I was at GTMO there were 660 prisoners. Only hard core terrorists are left there. I hope that you or your administration do not release these thugs so that they can murder again. However, if they are released and murder again I hope the families of the victims sue you or bring charges against you and members of your administration in criminal or civil court. As far as I am concerned if you release these thugs and they murder again then you should be brought up on impeachment charges for endangering American citizens and our allies.
