===Transcript===

There is no record that Murtada Ali Said Maqram participated in his Tribunal.

==Administrative Review Board hearings==

Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual ] hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".

They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat—or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.

While fighting in the Jihad in Afghanistan, the detainee spent seven months on a secondary line approximately 30 kilometers from the front line. He then spent two months on another secondary line at Bagram Hill, approximately 13 kilometers from the front line. When the Northern Alliance attacked the front line, the detainee went to the front line on the Bagram side of the mountain.
