Barak is an Afghan national detained at Guantanamo Bay after being arrested during a raid on a compound containing weapons. During interrogation, he admitted the rockets belonged to his brother who received them from a former Taliban commander. While initially evasive, a polygraph indicated he was not deceptive about his knowledge of the weapons purchase. As of November 2003, he was assessed to have no intelligence value and pose a low threat. However, the Criminal Investigative Task Force has not completed its threat assessment and further investigation is needed before JTF GTMO and CITF can agree on transferring or releasing him.
