ISN: 004
Nationality: Afghan
The following is a summary of the allegations against Abdul Haq Wasiq found in publicly available US military documents. If US military
documents about this prisoner are inaccurate or misleading then this summary
will be as well. The introduction to this set
of summaries explains some of the terms used below.
Wasiq told US
interrogators that he served as the Taliban Deputy Minister of Intelligence.
Abdul Zahir said
that Wasiq placed a number of al Qaeda members in Taliban intelligence
positions. Zahir also said that Wasiq invited Al Qaeda member Hamza Zubayr to
Kabul to provide instruction to administrators in the Taliban Ministry of
Intelligence, many of whom had no prior intelligence background. Wasiq denied knowing
Hamza Zubayr. No corroborating evidence is presented in Wasiq’s DAB to support
Zahir’s allegations.
Wasiq met with members of
the US military and offered to help them locate the leader of the Taliban,
Mullah Omar. According to Wasiq’s DAB, US forces captured him shortly after the
meeting based on his “position within the Taliban and support to Anti-Coalition
Militia members.”
Wasiq was sent to
Guantanamo in January 2002.
In January 2010 Wasiq was
recommended for continued detention by Obama’s Guantanamo task force.
