“New accounts from officials in Afghanistan and the United States indicate that at least 5 of the 57 Afghan detainees released [from Guantanamo] have returned to the battlefield as Taliban commanders or fighters. Some of the five have been involved in new attacks on Americans, officials in southern Afghanistan said, including a notorious Taliban commander, Mullah Shahzada, who was reportedly killed in a recent accident.”
