From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bismillah, an Afghan with just a single name, was detained in Camp Delta, in the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Bismillah was one of eighteen Afghanis repatriated on March 22, 2003, and released by Afghan authorities four days later.

Bismillah said he was captured by Americans, in his home, at 2am. He said he roused their suspicion by not being able to answer their questions because he was hard of hearing.

A third prisoner, Bismillah, of central Uruzgan province, claimed he was mistakenly arrested because he is hard of hearing.

"At 2am at night Americans came to our house and asked me to show them where the Taliban are. Since I am deaf, I couldn't understand what they said so they arrested me. It took them more than a year to realise I am innocent."
