COMBATANT STATUS REVIEW BOARD

To:	Personal Representative
From:	OIC, CSRT (3 November 2004)
Subject:	Summary of Evidence for Combatant Status Review Tribunal - Abdullah Abdulqadirakhum

1.

Under the provisions of the Secretary of the Navy Memorandum, dated 29 July 2004, Implementation of Combatant Status Review Tribunal Procedures for Enemy Combatants Detained at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base Cuba, a Tribunal has been appointed to review the detainee's designation as an enemy combatant.

2.

An enemy combatant has been defined as "an individual who was part of or supporting the Taliban or al Qaida forces, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners. This included any person who committed a belligerent act or has directly supported hostilities in aid of enemy armed forces."

3.

The United States Government has previously determined that the detainee is an enemy combatant. This determination is based on information possessed by the United States that indicates that he is a member of the Taliban.

a.

The detainee is a part of forces associated with al Qaida and the Taliban:

1.	The detainee departed Kyrgyzstan and traveled to Afghanistan, via Pakistan, in July 2001.
2.	The detainee attended the Uigher training camp in the Tora Bora Mountains of Afghanistan from September through mid October 2001.

b.

The detainee participated in military operations against the United States and its coalition partners.

1.	The detainee was present at, and participated in, the battle of Tora Bora.
2.	The detainee retreated from his position in the Tora Bora Mountains to Pakistan in late 2001, at which point Pakistani authorities apprehended him and his unit.

4.

The detainee has the opportunity to contest his designation as an enemy combatant. The Tribunal will endeavor to arrange for the presence of any reasonably available witnesses or evidence that the detainee desires to call or introduce to prove that he is not an enemy combatant. The Tribunal President will determine the reasonable availability of availability of evidence or witnesses.
