Majid Khan is now one of 20 Gitmo detainees awaiting transfer
A U.S. official has ended the prison sentence of a former Baltimore resident who confessed to becoming an al Qaeda courier, the Department of Defense announced Friday.
Majid Khan was sentenced by a U.S. military jury last October to serve 26 years in prison, starting from the time he first pleaded guilty to war crimes Feb. 28, 2012. Khan pleaded guilty to delivering $50,000 from Pakistan to an al Qaeda affiliate that used the funds to blow up a Marriott hotel in Indonesia in 2003 and kill an estimated 12 people.
All of that now changes after Convening Authority for Military Commissions Jeffrey D. Wood followed recommendations from a military panel and reduced Khan’s sentence to ten years, meaning his sentence concluded on March 1 and Khan will soon be released from Guantanamo Bay.
“Pursuant to a 2021 modification to the original 2012 pre-trial agreement, the convening authority agreed to reduce the sentence to 11-14 years,” the Department of Defense noted. “Additionally, Mr. Khan received one year of credit off his sentence from a military judge in the case.”
As for where Khan will end up, that question remains unanswered. He is one of 38 detainees currently held at Guantanamo Bay. Under current law, Guantanamo detainees cannot be taken to the United States. A lawyer for Khan, J. Wells Dixon, has urged the Biden administration to “transfer him promptly to a safe third country,” according to The New York Times.
