On 15 January 2010, the Department of Defense complied with a court order and published a heavily redacted list of Captives held in the Bagram Theater Internment Facility.[1] There were 645 names on the list, which was dated 22 September 2009. One of the names was Lutfi al-Arabi al-Gharisi. Historian Andy Worthington, author of The Guantanamo Files, speculated that Lutfi al-Arabi al-Gharisi may have been a Tunisian, identified by human rights groups as a ghost prisoner.[2] If so he was captured in late 2002 in Peshawar, Pakistan.[3] Worthington reported this individual was held in the CIA's "dark prison", and several other CIA black sites. Worthington speculated that he might also have been a Tunisian captive identified by Marwan Jabour, named "Hudeifa".[4]
