Samoud Khan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samoud Khan is a former Afghan militia commander.[1]

During his Combatant Status Review Tribunal a young Guantanamo detainee named Habib Rahman, who acknowledged working as a cook for Samoud, told his Tribunal that they could ask Samoud their questions himself, as he was still a prisoner in Bagram.[1]

Another Guantanamo captive, Mohabet Khan, said he was forcibly conscripted into Samoud's forces shortly before Samoud's compound was captured by the Americans.[2]

A third Guantanamo captive, Shardar Khan acknowledged working as a bodyguard for Samound. He testified that Samoud's local enemy was another militia leader named Abdul Ali, who had murdered Samoud's son.[3]
