RAW DATA: Former Gitmo Detainees Who Returned to Terrorism

A growing number of former Guantanamo Bay detainees are said to be returning to terrorism in the Middle East and elsewhere.

The Pentagon most recently released a report in May showing that one in seven former detainees either returned, or is suspected of returning, to terrorist activity. At least two of them have taken leading roles in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the group that has claimed responsibility for the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day.

The Obama administration says it will proceed with caution in transferring any more detainees out of Guantanamo Bay but is determined to shutter the facility.

The following is a partial list, based on the information made public by the Pentagon, of former detainees thought to have returned to the battlefield.
