Claims he "returned to the fight"

The Defense Intelligence Agency would later assert that during an Al Jazeera interview from October 7, 2001 he was identified as the “deputy defense minister of the Taliban.” The DIA would also identify him as a "former Guantanamo captive who returned to the fight":

Abdul Rahman Noor: Noor was released in July of 2003, and has since participated in fighting against US forces near Kandahar. After his release, Noor was identified as the person in an October 7, 2001, video interview with al-Jazeerah TV network, wherein he is identified as the “deputy defense minister of the Taliban.” In this interview, he described the defensive position of the mujahideen and claimed they had recently downed an airplane.
