From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abdul Al-Rahim Ghulam Rabbani is a citizen of Pakistan, held in extrajudicial detention by the United States.[1] According to Laid Saidi, Rabbani, and his brother, Mohammed Ahmad Ghulam Rabbani, were being held in the CIA black site known as "the salt pit" at the same time he was.

Rabbani was also listed on the list of Guantanamo detainees released on May 15, 2006.[2] His Guantanamo detainee ID number is 1460. American Intelligence analysts estimated that Rabbani was born in 1969. Unlike most detainees they did not name a place of birth.

Rabbani and his brother participated in the hunger strike that started on August 8, 2005.[3]

[edit] Mohammed Aman's witness request

During his Combatant Status Review Tribunal Mohammed Aman requested the testimony of someone named "Gulam Rabani".[4] His Tribunal's President ruled that Gulam Rabani's testimony was relevant. But the President said the Afghan government had not responded to request to locate him -- so his testimony was ruled "not reasonably available".
