Mawlawi Mohammad Nabi Omari is an Afghan politician serving as First Deputy Minister for Interior Affairs[2] under the internationally unrecognized Taliban regime since 6 October 2022.[3] He was also appointed Acting Governor of Khost Province in late August 2021.[4] Omari was held for nearly twelve years in extrajudicial detention at the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[5] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 832. American intelligence analysts estimate that he was born in 1968, in Khost, Afghanistan. He arrived at the Guantanamo detention camps on October 28, 2002.[6]
He was transported from Guantanamo Bay to Qatar on June 1, 2014.[7] Omari and four other men known as the Taliban five were exchanged for captured U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl. The men were held by the Qataris in a form of house arrest. The swap was brokered by the Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar. Omari and the others were required to stay in Qatar for a year as a condition of their release.[8]
