Al Rabia, 50, is charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism and attack civilians and providing material support for terrorism. A citizen of Kuwait, he allegedly traveled to Afghanistan to meet with Osama Bin Laden. The government contends that al Rabia also raised money for al Qaeda, commanded a supply depot at Tora Bora, and delivered supplies to al Qaeda fighters. His defense attorneys assert that he traveled to Afghanistan for humanitarian reasons and falsely confessed that he ran the supply depot after being subjected to abusive interrogations by the US military.

In September 2009, a federal judge granted his habeas corpus petition and ordered the government to take all necessary steps to arrange his release.
