Muhammad Ismail Agha was a 14-year old al-Qaeda suspect held by U.S. forces first at Bagram Air Base and then at Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was held for fourteen months. Due to pressure from the International Committee of the Red Cross, Agha was finally released January 29, 2004 and allowed to go back to his home in Nawzad, Afghanistan.

It was not until 10 months after his disappearance that he was able to send a letter and notify his family of his whereabouts.

Agha claims he was looking for work when he was arrested by Afghan militia soldiers and handed over to U.S. troops in 2002.
