ETIM training camp is a name that Joint Task Force Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts applied to a place where two dozen ethnic Uyghurs held in Guantanamo are suspected of having received training.[1][2] JTF-GTMO analysts assert that the camp was run by a group they called the East Turkestan Islamic Movement.
The Uyghurs dispute that the compound was military training camp.[1] They state that there was only one weapon at the camp, an AK-47. Some of the captives acknowledge that another Uyghur gave them a few hours of training on the rifle. Others said they had never had any training.
