Abdul Zahir (عبدالظاهر) is a citizen of Afghanistan currently held in extrajudicial detention in the United States' Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.〔 〕 He was the tenth captive, and the first Afghan, to face charges before the first, Presidentially authorized Guantanamo military commissions.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 After the Supreme Court ruled the President lacked the constitutional authority to set up military commissions, the United States Congress passed the Military Commissions Act of 2006, he was not charged under that system. ==Background== Abdul Zahir was transferred to Guantanamo on October 28, 2002, and remains there today.〔 〕〔 〕 Zahir was charged with conspiracy, aiding the enemy and attacking civilians in connection with the grenade attack that wounded Canadian reporter Kathleen Kenna.〔 〕〔 〕 Kenna wrote an op-ed about her feelings about Abdul Zahir's trial on December 27, 2009.〔 〕 She wrote that she and her companions weren't interested in retribution. She wrote that she hopes Abdul Zahir has a truly fair trial. She wrote that she and her companions couldn't identify their attackers. According to historian Andy Worthington, author of ''The Guantanamo Files'', Kenna's op-ed should have shamed the US Government.〔 〕 : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abdul Zahir (Guantanamo Bay detainee 753)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
