Amid fears that the recent release of four Guantanamo terrorist detainees by the Obama administration whose efforts to reduce the detainee population toward his goal of closing the facility will endanger troops in Afghanistan, one of those detainees Mohammed Zahir, previously owned uranium to manufacture nuclear bombs and was deemed a high-risk threat but ignored, the Shoebat Foundation reported on Saturday.

The Pentagon identified the four detainees as Mohammed Zahir, Shawali Khan, Abdul Ghani, and Khi Ali Gul. Fox News reported on Saturday that the four were released after the inter-agency Guantanamo Review Task Force conducted a comprehensive review, including whether they were a security risk, as directed by Obama’s Jan. 22, 2009, executive order. Now that the four have been released, Walid Shoebat of the Shoebat Foundation stated that releasing Mohammed Zahir has opened the door where Zahir will pose a serious threat to the United States and other parts of the world with his knowledge of nuclear weapons. Mohammed Zahir was a leading Taliban weapons supplier, according to his official Guantanamo file, leaked three years ago to The Telegraph by the Wikileaks hacker group.

In the Wikileaks Department of Defense Threat Assessment dated, February 2008, it stated, “Detainee, Zahir, is assessed to be a “HIGH” risk, as he is likely to pose a threat to the US, its interests, and allies. Detainee was reported to be a major weapons dealer in the Ghazni area. Detainee reportedly owned several Stinger missiles and an unknown quantity of uranium. Weapons were believed to be stored at his compound.”

“Detainee is assessed to be a veteran high-level member of the Taliban Intelligence Directorate. Detainee is also assessed to be a weapons smuggler in the Ghazni Province and has possible ties to Afghanistan narcotics trafficking. Detainee was arrested on suspicion of possessing weapons including Stinger missiles and uranium, which detainee’s recovered documents indicate was intended for use in a nuclear device. Detainee is associated with senior members of the Taliban intelligence and other Taliban officials and Anti-Coalition Militia (ACM) members including Jalaluddin Haqqani.” The report went to say, “Detainee was arrested on suspicion of possessing weapons including Stinger missiles and uranium, which detainee’s recovered documents indicate was intended for use in a nuclear device.”

The Shoebat Foundation said, “Some former inmates, especially a celebrated group of Saudi jihadis known as “Batch 10” who were repatriated in 2007, have rejoined al-Qaeda. Zahir was said when recommended for continued detention seven years ago to be a “veteran high-level member of the Taliban Intelligence Directorate” as well as having links to narcotics smuggling.” In referencing the other three terrorists who were released, the Shoebat Foundation said, “Abdul Ghani was a member of an assassination squad who admitted to having been involved in at least one rocket attack on US forces. Khi Ali Gul was noted to have ties to the Haqqani terrorist network and to have planned and executed attacks against US and Coalition forces, and Shawali Khan, who was said to be the nephew of a leader of the Taliban-linked Hezb-E-Islami Gulbuddin with possible ties to al-Qaeda and Iranian extremist elements.”

“The Taliban is instrumental in Pakistan, and we must remember the dangers of Pakistan, the Shoebat Foundation,” said in November 2014. “We have written extensively on the significance behind Pakistan and how it will play a major role in the coming war with Islam. Pakistan has some unprotected nuclear weapons and ISIS certainly has its eyes on that and beyond any doubt, it will strive to reach those weapons.”
