Biography

Ayoub Murshid Ali Saleh is a citizen of Yemen who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 836. The Department of Defense reports that he was born on April 29, 1978, in Dhamar, Yemen. Ayoub Ali Saleh was apprehended by a combined force of Pakistani security officials and a CIA black site team, on 11 September 2002—the anniversary of al Qaeda's attack within the USA. He and five other individuals spent slightly more than a month in CIA custody at the salt pit, prior to being transferred to Guantanamo. Guantanamo analysts maintained the narrative that these six were an al Qaeda sleeper cell they called the "Karachi Six". However, that claim had been dropped by his 2016 Periodic Review Board hearing. Saleh was transferred to the United Arab Emirates on August 13, 2016.
