Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef (
i/ˈæbdʊl səˈlɑːm zɑːˈiːf/; born 1966 in Kandahar) was the Afghan ambassador to Pakistan before the US invasion of Afghanistan.
He was detained in Pakistan in the fall of 2001 and held until 2005 in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp. The United Nations removed Zaeef from its list of terrorists in July 2010.
Following the U.S. invasion, Zaeef was forced to end his news conferences, seized by Pakistani authorities, and handed over to American operatives. The Pajhwok Afghan News reported that Zaeef was freed from Guantanamo Bay.
