Capture

Fellow Guantanamo detainee Muhibullo Abdulkarim Umarov was interviewed by Mother Jones magazine.^[3] He described being captured while staying with his a friend, on the campus of the University of Karachi on May 19, 2002. He said his host, Abdughaffor, and another guest, Mazharuddin, were captured when he was.

Umarov said the three men were transferred from Pakistani custody to American custody in early June 2002. Then the three men were transferred from Bagram to Guantanamo in early August 2002.
