Muhammad Ismail Agha is an Afghan national who at age 14 was arrested as an al-Qaeda suspect by Afghan militia soldiers, who transferred him to U.S. forces in December 2002.
Agha was detained at Bagram Air Base, then transferred to Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was released on January 29, 2004 and returned home to Nawzad, Afghanistan.
In an interview in National Review, Agha and his family stated that he was well-treated by the American troops and attended school during his incarceration.
"For two or three days I was confused, But later the Americans were so nice with me. They were giving me good food with fruit and water for ablutions before prayer."
Fox News identified a man with the similar name Mohammed Ismail as one of the three teenagers released from Camp Iguana. The Fox article claimed this capture occurred four months after his release, and that he was captured carrying a letter:
"confirming his status as a Taliban member in good standing."
