What you need to know:

  • The 48-year-old was arrested by Kenyan police in February 2007 on suspicion of belonging to al-Qaeda and taking part in the 2002 raids against Paradise Hotel and an Israeli plane in Mombasa.

Kenyan Mohammed Abdul Malik Bajabu is among the remaining detainees at the US-run prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Though the latest periodic review determined that “no significant question is raised as to whether his continued detention is warranted”, Bajabu remains incarcerated. His detention number is ISN 10025.
