Muhammad Ismail Agha (born 1988 or 1989) is an Afghan national who was among some 15-21 juveniles held at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps.
[2] There is some confusion about his date of birth: U.S. Department of Defense records indicate he was born in 1988,[1] while first-hand reports suggest it was 1989.
[1] Shortly after leaving home to look for work in December 2002, Agha was detained by Afghan soldiers in Girishk for attempting to join the Taliban to fight against Americans, a charge he denied.
[c] He was put with two other teenagers, Naqibullah and Asadullah, in Camp Iguana, the section of Guantanamo built for juveniles.
[5] Agha and his family said that he was treated well by the American troops and attended school during his incarceration at Guantanamo,[2][6][7] although he criticized the US for not contacting his parents for 10 months, and failing to let them know that he was still alive during that time.
