Biography
Shawki Awad Balzuhair (Arabic: Ø´ÙÙ٠عÙض باÙزÙÙر; born July 24, 1981) is a citizen of Yemen, held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. His detainee ID number was 838. The Department of Defense reports that Balzuhair was born on July 24, 1981, in Hadhramaut, Yemen. Prior to his transfer to Guantanamo, Balzuhair spent a month in the CIA's archipelago of black sites, where torture was routinely practiced. Initially the United States claimed Balzuhair and five other men seized in Karachi formed an underground al-Qaeda cell they called the "Karachi Six". Eventually analysts would acknowledge that this cell had never existed.
