 | | David Matthew Hicks (born 7 August 1975), also known as Abu Muslim al-Austraili and Mohammed Dawood, is an Australian citizen being held prisoner by the United States Government at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba after having allegedly served with the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. |
 | | He has been detained, initially without charge, for more than four years as an "unlawful combatant" and thus, it was claimed, outside the normal protections of U.S. law and the provisions of the Geneva Conventions. |
 | | In 1999, Hicks travelled to Albania (leaving behind a failed relationship and two children), where he joined the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), a paramilitary organisation of ethnic Albanian Muslims fighting against Serbian forces in the Kosovo War, and served with them for two months. |
