Repatriation and acquittal
Al Ajmi was repatriated to Kuwait and taken into Kuwaiti custody on 3 November 2005. Al Ajmi was freed, on bail, while he awaited trial. The five men trial began in March 2006, and were acquitted on 22 July 2006. The Washington Post reported that the two main charges were that the detainees had helped fund Al Wafa, an Afghan charity with ties to al-Qaeda, and that they had fought alongside the Taliban. Further, the prosecution argued that the detainees actions had endangered Kuwait's political standing and its relations with friendly nations. The detainees' defense had argued that testimony secured in Guantanamo could not be used in Kuwaiti courts, because the detainees and interrogators had not signed them. Furthermore, they had argued that the allegations the USA had directed at them were not violations of Kuwaiti law. In an October 2011 article about the torture of other former captives from Kuwait, CNN's Jenifer Fenton reported that people who knew him "described him as unstable when he returned from Guantanamo."
On 1 May 2008, Al Ajmi's cousin told Al Arabiya television that Al Ajmi had carried out a suicide bombing in Mosul, Iraq. On 2 May 2008, The International Herald Tribune reported that the three most recent suicide bombings in Mosul occurred on 26 April 2008, and killed seven people. According to the report, Al Ajmi's cousin said that Al Ajmi had disappeared "two weeks ago". However, a 2009 The Washington Post article reported that Al Ajmi killed himself in a suicide bombing on 23 March 2008, which killed 13 Iraqi policemen. A CNN report from October 2011 said the attack "...left six people dead, including two police officers.".
