The Department of Defense says his birthdate is August 16, 1967.
Along with Khaled Ben Mustapha and Mustaq Ali Patel, he was the last French citizen held at the base. They were released in March 2005 and placed under formal investigation by a judge in Paris. Khalid has two brothers already under investigation for alleged terrorism-related matters.
Although originally convicted in France, his trial was overturned and he was released in February 2009.<ref name="nytimes">New York Times, [https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/25/world/europe/25france.html?_r=1 Terror convictions overturned in France], February 24, 2009</ref>
