Bashir Al-Marwalah was apprehended by a combined force of Pakistani security officials and a CIA black site team, on 11 September 2002—the anniversary of al Qaeda's attack within the USA. He and five other individuals spent slightly more than a month in CIA custody at the Salt Pit, prior to being transferred to Guantanamo. Guantanamo analysts maintained the narrative that these six were an al Qaeda sleeper cell they called the "Karachi Six".[7][8][9] However, that claim had been dropped by his 2016 Periodic Review Board hearing.

Al-Marwalah was transferred to the United Arab Emirates on August 13, 2016.[11]
