Monday, June 25, 2007  Terror Suspect Transferred To Guantanamo
Haroon al-Afghani, who was captured as a result of our ongoing
efforts in the Global War on Terror, is known to be associated
with high-level militants in Afghanistan, and has admitted to
serving as a courier for al-Qaeda Senior Leadership (AQSL).
There is significant information available that Haroon al-
Afghani is a senior commander of Hezb-e-Islami/Gulbuddin (HIG),
a declared hostile terrorist group associated with AQ in
Afghanistan and commanded multiple HIG terrorist cells that
conducted improvised explosive device (IED) attacks in Nangarhar
Province. He is assessed to have had regular contact with senior
AQ and HIG leadership.  The capture of Haroon al-Afghani
exemplifies the genuine threat that the United States and other
countries face throughout the world in the war on terror.  Due
to the continuing threat this terrorist represents and his high
placement in the Hezb-e-Islami/Gulbuddin, he has been
transferred to the DOD Detention Facil
