Feroz Abbasi is one of nine British men who were held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. Five were repatriated in March 2004, and released by the British government the next day. He was released from detention on 25 January 2005 along with Moazzam Begg, Martin Mubanga and Richard Belmar. Abbasi's Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 24. The Department of Defense reports that he was born on October 29, 1979 in Entebbe, Uganda. ==Background== Abbasi moved to Britain with his mother Zumrati Juma, a social worker, and family when he was eight. They lived in Croydon, South London. Abbasi attended Edenham High School in Shirley, Croydon, gaining good GCSE grades. He is said to have been a well-behaved and conscientious school pupil, interested in roller blading and Michael Jackson. He took his A-levels at John Ruskin College (1996–1998) and enrolled in a two-year computing course at Nescot College in Epsom, which he did not finish. He started traveling. Abbasi was brought up a Muslim but had stopped attending his local mosque when he was twelve. His interest in Islam was apparently rekindled after he was mugged at 19 on his first trip abroad to Geneva and met a Kashmiri refugee there. After his return, he began to attend the moderate local mosque in Croydon. He became more fervent, becoming involved with and in spring 2000 moving into the radical Finsbury Park mosque. There he helped set up a website for a militant Islamic group. Because his half-brother and half-sister had a Christian father, he stopped talking to the family and eventually disappeared. The family last saw him in 2000, as he was preparing to leave for Afghanistan. Nothing more was known about him until Abbasi was reportedly detained in December 2001, in Kunduz in the north of the country. 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「Feroz Abbasi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
