Biography

Murtada Ali Said Magram was born on March 28, 1976, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Maqram's Combatant Status Review Tribunal. The memo listed the following allegations against him: The detainee is an al-Qaida/Taliban fighter, he voluntarily traveled from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan to fight in the Jihad. While traveling through Qandahar, AF, he stayed at a Taliban guesthouse. He received training on the AK-47 assault rifle while in AF and participated in military operations against the coalition. 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. He retreated to the Tora Bora region and fled to Pakistan where he was captured.

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Murtada Ali Said Maqram's first annual Administrative Review Board. The memo listed factors for and against his continued detention. He stated that he wanted to be a martyr for the cause. A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Murtadh Al Said Makram's second annual Administrative Review Board, on 25 January 2006.

He was repatriated to Saudi custody on November 9, 2007, with thirteen other men. The records published from the captives' annual Administrative Reviews show his repatriation was not the outcome of the formal internal review procedures.

On February 3, 2009 the Saudi government included him on its list of 85 "most wanted" terrorists.
