The Chicago Tribune reports that although he was born in Afghanistan he lived most of his life before he returned to Afghanistan in 2001 living in Saudi Arabia, where his parents were guest workers.[2]
As of 2007, Umar Abdullah Al Kunduzi has been released from Guantanamo Bay[3][4]
On November 25, 2008 the Department of Defense published a list of when Guantanamo captives were repatriated.[4] According to that list he was repatriated on December 12, 2007.
The Chicago Tribune profiled Al Kunduzi on March 4, 2009.[2] The article reported Afghan authorities detained him for a further four months after his repatriation. The article reported that Al Kunduzi acknowledged being present in Tora Bora as the Taliban regime collapsed. He told his interviewer that because he had been detained in Guantanamo he couldn't find work, and that former associates of his who remained loyal to the Taliban were pressuring him to join them.
When I say I am vulnerable, understand this—the policy of those on the other side is, 'You're with me, or you're against me.' One day, finally, they will come after me. That's why I want to disappear.
