The United States freed hundreds of terrorists from prisons: many of them returned to their former lives and murders

More than 200 former Guantanamo inmates who have been released have returned to terrorism since their release, with 151 still at large, according to recently declassified documents. Writes about it Daily Mail.

A declassified report from the Office of National Intelligence on December 18, 2020, highlighted that 229 former Guantanamo inmates have repeatedly participated in terrorist attacks and killed Americans since their release.

The data included in the report shows that 125 former prisoners have confirmed their involvement in terrorist attacks since their release, and another 104 are currently suspected of re-involvement.

However, since 151 people are still at large, this means that 66 percent have not yet been detained.

President Donald Trump signed a decree while in power to keep Guantanamo open.

However, after taking office, President Joe Biden overturned Trump's decree to permanently close the facility in Cuba.

The report's assessment states: “Based on trends over the past 17 years, we believe that some prisoners currently in prison will attempt to resume terrorist or insurgency activities after their transfer. Transfers to countries with ongoing conflict and internal instability, as well as recruitment by insurgent and terrorist organizations, can create an increased risk of re-engagement. While compliance with the terms of transfer likely deterred many former prisoners from repeating terrorist activities, some detainees who choose to return will do so regardless of any conditions for the transfer. ”

However, not all former prisoners are believed to have been involved in terrorism again. It is believed that 41 people have died, and another 37 are now in detention abroad.

Among the former Guantanamo detainees re-engaged in terrorism is Abdullah Ghulam Rasool, who became the commander of Taliban operations in southern Afghanistan after his release in 2007.

He is blamed for the growing number of attacks on US troops in Afghanistan.

Gholam Rouhani is another figure who returned to terrorism after his release.

The fanatic was among a group of armed militants who staged a celebratory press conference just hours after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.

Experts identified him as a former detainee who was accused by US officials of a long-time Taliban intelligence security agent and close family ties with high-ranking officials.

Rouhani said he spent seven years in a Cuban military detention facility that was set up nearly two decades ago to contain the world's most dangerous terrorists.

State Department documents confirm that Rouhani - Prisoner No. 3 - was one of the earliest detainees at Guantanamo Bay, having spent five years there, from 2002 to 2007.

The files also show that Rouhani secured his eventual freedom by telling the governing body that he was a "simple salesman" who "helped the Americans."

Despite being assigned a medium security threat, the March 2007 document states that Rouhani continued to insist that he had never heard of al-Qaeda until 11/XNUMX and simply joined the Taliban as “a necessity for survival ".

He stated that his "only desire" was to return to Afghanistan and "help his ailing father run the family's home appliance store in Kabul."

Another senior Taliban figure previously released from Guantanamo is Mullah Zakir, who was released back in 2007.

After his return to the country, he became one of the highest military leaders of the Taliban.

Another senior Taliban member who was released from Guantanamo is Khairullah Khairkhwa.

However, after his release from prison in 2014, during the Obama presidency, Khairhwa became the mastermind behind the takeover of Kabul by the Taliban.

He was one of five Taliban commanders freed by Obama from a detention camp off the coast of Cuba in exchange for US soldier Bow Bergdahl.

The President guaranteed to the US people that the so-called "five Taliban" will be sent to Qatar and will not be able to cause any damage to Afghanistan.

However, at the beginning of this year, Khairkhwa ended up mediating the withdrawal.

The freed five Taliban were indeed sent to Qatar, but simply used their exile to form the regime remotely.

Speaking with President Joe Biden's envoy to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad earlier this year, Khairhwa said, “I started a jihad to withdraw foreign forces from my country and create an Islamic government, and the jihad will continue until we achieve this goal through a political agreement. ".
