From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


According to American intelligence analysts there was a Samar Khaila training camp in Afghanistan.[1]

A Summary of Evidence memo prepared for Guantanamo captive Abdul Rauf Omar Mohammed Abu Al Qusin's Combatant Status Review Tribunal justified his continued extrajudicial detention, in part, because he was alleged to have attended training camps in Torkhum and Samar Khaila[1]:

The detainee received weapons training (AK-47, sniper rifle, RPGs, and 82mm mortars) at two Libyan training camps located within Afghanistan (Torkhum and Samar Khaila).

The Summary of Evidence memo prepared for British resident Omar Amer Deghayes's second annual Administrative Review Board, on 8 August 2006 stated[2]:

  • "A senior al Qaida operative stated that he facilitated the detainee's travel to a Libyan camp in Afghanistan."
  • "An individual stated that the detainee came to Afghanistan in 1998 and was trained at Samarkhil or Samardil Camp."
  • "A detainee of a foreign service stated that a Libyan Islamic Fighting Group camp was opened in the Samarkhil region near Jalalabad, Afghanistan in 1998."
