Abdul Haq Wasiq (Pashto: عبد الحق واثق[ˈabdʊlhaqwɑˈsɪq]; born 1971) is the Director of Intelligence of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan since September 7, 2021.[2] He was previously the Deputy Minister of Intelligence in the former Taliban government (1996–2001).[3] He was held in extrajudicial detention in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba, from 2002 to 2014.[4] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 4. American intelligence analysts estimate that he was born in 1971 in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan.
Abdul Haq Wasiq arrived at the Guantanamo detention camps on January 11, 2002, and he was held there until May 31, 2014.[5][6] He was released, along with the other four members of the so-called Taliban Five—Mohammad Fazl, Khairullah Khairkhwa, Norullah Noori, and Mohammad Nabi Omari—in exchange for the release of United States Army soldier Bowe Bergdahl, who had been held captive by the Taliban-aligned Haqqani network.[7][8]
