Hafizullah Shabaz Khail - Second Capture

Second Capture

The Associated Press reported on February 7, 2009, that "Hafizullah Shahbaz Khiel" was captured a second time in September 2008, less than a year after his December 2007 release from Guantanamo. According to the Associated Press he is currently detained in the Bagram Theater internment facility. The Americans have been given affidavits, attesting to his innocence, from the elders on the village council, his Province's Governor, the National Reconciliation Committee, and two members of the National Legislature, but he remains in detention.

Peter M. Ryan, the American lawyer who had handled his habeas petition, told the Associated Press that he suspected his second capture was due to American military intelligence officials failing to update their records that he had been cleared of suspicion in the allegations that had triggered his original erroneous capture.

Famous quotes containing the word capture:

    This is no rune nor symbol,
    what I mean is it is so simple
    yet no trick of the pen or brush
    could capture that impression;
    what I wanted to indicate was
    a new phase, a new distinction of colour.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    This is the hope of many adolescent girls—to capture a parent’s heart with love for them as they are, as people. They reject the notion of being loved just because they are the child of the parent. They want the parent to fall in love with them all over again, because being new, they deserve a new love.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
