Mohammed Abdul Malik Bajabu (born November 11, 1973) is a citizen of Kenya currently held in administrative detention in the United States' Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba. He was born in Busia, Uganda, but has Kenyan citizenship.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Abdul Malik was captured in February 2007, on suspicion of leading a terrorist bomb-plot in Mombasa. He was transferred to Guantanamo on 26 March 2007. Abdul Malik is a confirmed member of the East Africa al-Qaeda network as well as a confirmed member of the Council of Islamic Courts and the Islamic Part of Kenya. He "actively participated" in the facilitation of weapons and the planning of terrorist acts against the U.S., according to the Joint Task Force (JTF) at Guantanamo Bay. He was recommended for continued detention under the Department of Defense's control. The JTF gave Abdul Malik a high risk threat against the United States' interests and allies. He has no reports of disciplinary infractions as of May 22, 2007, granting him a low detention risk value. Abdul Malik does, however, have a high intelligence value.[citation needed]
According to Kenya's Daily Nation Abdul Malik was a protégé of Harun Fazul, described as "...the most wanted terror suspect in the region."[4]
According to Kenya's Daily Nation:[4]
Sources say Mr Abdulmalik gave useful information to the police before he turned hostile, prompting his transfer to the high security prison at Guantanamo Bay.
According to a British Broadcasting Corporation report from 4 May 2007, Abdul Malik confessed, under interrogation, to a role in the 2002 bombing of the Paradise Hotel in Mombasa.[7][12]
According to the BBC report, Abdul Malik had been transferred to Guantanamo a month earlier.
