Othman Ahmad Othman al-Ghamdi

Othman Ahmed Othman Al Omairah (also transliterated as Othman Ahmad Othman al-Ghamdi, May 27, 1979 – February 2015) was a citizen of Saudi Arabia who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, Cuba.

On June 25, 2006, the US repatriated 14 men to Saudi Arabia, including a man the Saudi government identified as Othman Ahmad Othman al-Ghamdi.
