A cofounder of TCB, Tarek Ben Habib Maaroufi, provided the forged Belgian passports by which the assassins of Ahmed Shah Massoud travelled to Afghanistan. He is serving a sentence in Belgium. The other cofounder of TCB, Saifallah Ben Hassine, was last seen in London.

A number of the detainees held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba, remain in detention, in part, because American intelligence analysts allege they were members of the Tunisian Combat Group.
