On January 15, 2010, the Department of Defense complied with a court order and published a list of Captives held in the Bagram Theater Internment Facility that included the name Pasta Khan.[1][2][3]

There were 645 names on the list, which was dated September 22, 2009, and was heavily redacted.[1][2]

Historian Andy Worthington, author of The Guantanamo Files, speculated Pasta Khan might be "Masta Khan", a foreign fighter and weapons facilitator.[3] He is reported to have been captured in Terzayi district, Khost province, on July 9, 2009.[4]
