Jelazee Refugee Camp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jelazee Refugee Camp is refugee camp in Pakistan, near the Afghanistan border.[1]

American intelligence analysts alleged, during the Administrative Review Board hearing of Guantanamo detainee Adel Hassan Hamad, that the camp was directed by Zahid Al-Sheikh, an older brother of senior al Qaeda planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.[1] American analysts allege that Zahid Al-Sheikh was also an extremist with ties to terrorism.

Hamad acknowledged that when he first started working for the Hira Islamic Institute Al-Sheikh was the director of Lajnat Al-Da'wa al Islamia, and his ultimate boss, but he was never the director of the Jelazee Refugee Camp.[1] He said that while his relationship with him was a distant business relationship he never saw any clue that Al-Sheikh was an extremist, or tied to terrorism.
