From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'''Naqibullah''' is an [[Afghan]] boy who was arrested by the [[America]]ns, during their [[war on terror]]. Naqibullah was imprisoned in the US naval base at [[Guantanamo Bay]], which US [[Secretary of Defense]] [[Donald Rumsfeld]] described as holding '''"the worst of the worst"'''. In a [[BBC]] interview Naqibullah described his capture: :''"I hadn't done anything, but they suspected me because I was standing next to some men who had guns," he said.'' :''"I told them I was innocent. I don't even know how to use a gun." '' Unlike a number of other child detainees, Haqibullah was housed in [[Camp Iguana]], with two other children. These three were provided with English lessons, video games, and an exercise yard where their guards would play soccer with them. In his BBC interview Naqibullah said he was treated well, not tortured. ==External links== *[[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3488175.stm Boy praises Guantanamo jailers], [[BBC]], February 14, 2004 [[Category:U.S. detainees]]
