He has been described as one of the four men responsible for an escape from Bagram, on July 11, 2005. According to Eric Schmitt and Tim Golden of the New York Times, US officials didn't first identify him and Omar al Farouq under their real names, when they first escaped.

A Taliban spokesman told the News International'' that al-Kahtani was captured in a safe house near the Khost Airport.

Al-Kahtani was extradited to Saudi Arabia on April 29, 2007.
