Mourad Benchellali is a French citizen, who was captured by Pakistanis forces and detained in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps. His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 161.

On February 17, 2010, the Court of Cassation, the highest court in France, ordered a re-trial of the five men.
