Abdullah Abdulqadirakhum, one of the 22 Uyghur detainees in Guantanamo, identified an individual named Hassan Maksum as the man who provided him with training on the AK-47.[1]

American intelligence analysts identified the camp the Uyghurs were constructing as a training camp, and alleged that the Taliban and al Qaeda were sponsoring the Uyghur's military training there. Abdulqadirakhum, and the other Uyghurs, all said the training they were provided was minimal, lasting a few hours, at most, and that most of their time and energy was consumed in their construction work.

Some of the Uyghurs denied receiving any training. They said it was optional, and they had opted out. All the Uyghurs, except Abdulqadirakhum, who acknowledged receiving some training, identified a fellow Uyghur named Abdul Haq as their trainer.

Abdulqadirakhum said that Maksum was killed during the US bombing campaign.
