Background
Mohammed Abd Al Al Qadir testified that he had been living in Europe for most of the decade prior to his capture, where he had supported himself by dealing drugs. He had recently left Germany, for the United Kingdom in 2001. He was arrested by UK authorities. When he was released to await trial he instead used a false passport to travel to Afghanistan. He said his intention was to immigrate, and get married.
He was captured leaving Afghanistan following the American aerial bombardment. During his Combatant Status Review Tribunal and Administrative Review Board he faced serious allegations. Including that he attended the Khalden training camp.
Repatriation
Al Qadir and Abdulli Feghoul were repatriated on August 26, 2008.[2][3] Once in Algeria they faced charges based on the allegations of ties to jihadists in Afghanistan.[4][5][6][7] They were tried and acquitted in November 2009. Mohamed and Abdulli acknowledged, during their trials, that they had been involved in the illegal drug trade in Germany, but denied any ties to jihadism.
