Abdul Baqi (Guantanamo detainee 656)

Abdul Baqi is a citizen of Afghanistan who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1] Abdul Baqi's Guantanamo detainee ID number is 656. American intelligence analysts estimate that Abdul Baqi was born in 1942, in Tark Itmak, Afghanistan.

Abdul Baqi arrived in Guantanamo on June 14, 2002, and was repatriated to Afghanistan on November 18, 2003.[2][3][4][5]

New York Times writer Elizabeth Rubin, in a long article, described meeting several senior Taliban leadership, including an individual named Abdul Baqi.[9] She described him as being in his early twenties, whereas the DoD estimates the Guantanamo detainee was in his sixties.

The United Nations list of senior Taliban members lists two senior Taliban members named Abdul Baqi.[10] It links Maulavi Abdul Baqi, with the Taliban's Consulate Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It states that Mullah Abdul Baqi was the Taliban's Vice-Minister of Information and Culture.
