“ In August 2001 detainee traveled from the United Kingdom to Afghanistan (AF) with the intent to join the Jihad. Detaiene sought out Jaffar al-Jazeeri an Al Qaida operative facilitator who assisted in arranging for Algerians to attend training camps. Jazeeri informed detaiene that the training camps were closed until October. In the meantime, detainee stayed in a guesthouse in Jalalabad, AF, where he was taught basic skills on several weapons. While at the guesthouse, detainee learned of the World Trade Center attacks. The recruits were then given the opportunity to stay and fight or to leave. ”

“ Detainee is assessed as being an Al Qaida sympathizer and a GSPC member. GSPC is listed as a terrorist group under Executive Order 13224 and categorized as a Tier 1 terrorist group. Prior to detainee's interest in GSPC and joining the Jihad in Afghanistan, detainee was a supporter of the Front Islamique du Salut (FIS) . The goal of FIS is to overthrow the Algerian government and install and FIS-run Islamic administration. Detainee openly supported them during his college years and supported them in the 1991-1992 Algerian elections. ”
