Inayatullah (Guantanamo Detainee 10029)

Inayatullah, born Hajji Nassim (1974-2011) was a citizen of Afghanistan who was arrested in 2007 and transferred that year to be held as an enemy combatant in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 10029. Inayatullah was held in Guantanamo for 3 years, 8 months, and 22 days until his death by apparent suicide.

The US claims he admitted being an al Qaeda leader. They claim he was headquartered in Zahedan, Iran.

"Inayatullah met with local operatives, developed travel routes and coordinated documentation, accommodation and vehicles for smuggling unlawful combatants throughout countries including Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Iraq." — US Department of Defense

Inayatullah is the 19th captive to have been transferred to Guantanamo since September 6, 2006.

Prior to the transfer on that date of fourteen high value detainees, who had previously been held elsewhere in secret detention centers run by the CIA, the USA had not transferred any captives to Guantanamo since the United States Supreme Court ruling in Rasul v. Bush (2004). The court ruled that foreign nationals (non-U.S. citizens) held in Guantanamo Bay had the right of habeas corpus in US courts to challenge their imprisonments. In late November 2008, the New York Times published a page summarizing the official documents related to each captive. The New York Times said that no further official records of his detention and no Combatant Status Review Tribunal findings had been published. They identified him as identified captive 10029.
