Combatant Status Review

Because the Department of Defense failed to list Salim's name on the official lists of detainees it is unclear whether he participated in his Combatant Status Review Tribunal.

Determined not to have been an Enemy Combatant

The Washington Post reports that Salim was one of 38 detainees who was determined not to have been an enemy combatant during his Combatant Status Review Tribunal. They report that Salim has not been released. The Department of Defense refers to these men as No Longer Enemy Combatants.

Salim filed requests not to be repatriated to Egypt because he had been imprisoned and tortured there.

Release

Three of the remaining Guantanamo captives who were determined not to have been enemy combatants were released to Albania in November 2006. The men were not identified, other than by nationality. One of the released men was an Egyptian. The Washington Post list of 30 of the 38 men who were determined not to have been enemy combatants listed two Egyptians, Salim, and Sami Al Laithi. Al Laithi was confirmed to have been repatriated on October 5, 2005. They were reported to have been the last of the men classified as "no longer enemy combatants to have remained in custody.
