Zaeef had been in protective custody by the Afghan government since his release from Guantanamo. Quoting Waheed Muzhda Al Jazeera wrote "Zaeef feared for his life in the wake of the attempted raids on his home. Many of the Taliban prisoners freed from Guantanamo had been killed in night raids and that made Zaeef more nervous."
