Mohammed Ayub, of China, was captured when Pakistani villagers brought him to a mosque to hide - where they had "hidden" others fleeing Afghanistan as well, then turned them all in to Pakistani military.
He was not near a battlefield, though had come through the Tora Bora Mountains with the other Uyghurs from what they call a Uyghur refugee village and the U.S. calls a Taliban support training camp.
He admits the camp had weapons training, though there weren't enough guns for everyone to hold one. He arrived at Guantanamo in June 2002 and was released May 2006.
