A video posted in early August showed the funeral of ex-Guantanamo Bay detainee Mohammad al Alami, who was killed in Syria fighting alongside al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front terrorist group against the Syrian national army.

In the video, Alami, a Moroccan, is eulogized by one of the gunmen leaders, Sheikh Abu Ahmad al Muhajir, who said Alami was a veteran of jihad in Afghanistan before he “went through hardship for the sake of God in the prison of the Americans in Guantánamo for five years.”

Media reports said Alami fought US-backed forces in Afghanistan after 9/11, then was captured by the Pakistani Army trying to flee the country.

He was brought to Guantánamo from Afghanistan on Feb. 2, 2002, and repatriated Feb. 7, 2006.

Records are not clear why Alami was released from Guantanamo, The Miami Herald reported.
