Abdul Salam (Taliban leader, Kabul front, 2001)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American intelligence analysts assert a Taliban leader named Abdul Salam (or alternatively Abdul Salaam) was one of the Taliban's commanders on the Kabul front, during the Taliban's collapse, during late 2001.[1]

Two of the factors justifying Guantanamo captive Mohammad Ahmed Abdullah Saleh Al Hanashi continued detention were:[1]

  • The detainee fought under the leadership of Abdul Salam.
  • Abdul Salaam [sic] was one of the leaders at the Kabul front during the fighting with the Northern Alliance. He was also in charge of mine clearing operations.
