Ibrahim Bin Shakaran (August 4, 1979 – April 2, 2014) was a citizen of Morocco who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States's Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.[1] His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 587.
Ibrahim Bin Shakaran was repatriated to Moroccan custody on July 31, 2004, on the eve of the first Combatant Status Review Tribunals.[2] The three other men were Mohammed Ibrahim Awzar, Mohammed Mizouz, and Radwan al Shakouri. The four were all charged by Moroccan authorities; then released on bail. The BBC reports a fifth man, Abdellah Tabarak was repatriated with the four others.[3]
He was reported to have led an anti-Assad group, in Syria, named Sham al Islam, which was staffed mainly by fellow Moroccans.[4] He was reported to have died, fighting in Syria, in 2014.[5]
