Karabakh camp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joint Task Force Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts describe the Karabakh camp as "...primarily ... a field kitchen and transit point for Taliban troops serving on the front lines in the war against Northern Alliance forces."[1][2]

During his Combatant Status Review Tribunal Guantanamo captive Yakub Abahanov's status as an "enemy combatant" was justified, in part, by the allegation[1]:

  • "Detainee was an assistant cook at the Taliban Karabakh camp from August 2001 to October 2001."

During his Administrative Review Board hearing Yakub Abahanaov had his continued detention justified, in part, by the allegations[2]:

  • "The detainee was offered a job as an assistant cook at a Taliban camp, where about 45 soldiers were located. The detainee had a Kalashnikov for guard duty and firing team duties but claimed he only fired the weapons [sic] three times, while at a range."
  • "The detainee has admitted to receiving military training at the Taliban's Karabakh Camp. The detainee received training in hand-to-hand combat, the AK-47, and RPGs.
