Seni Silat Kalimah Panglima Tangkas is a style of silat from Kedah, Malaysia. It is said to trace back to 1118 AD when Almarhum Sheikh Abdullah supposedly taught what would later become Silat Kalimah to the family of Maharaja Derbar Raja II, the 9th ruler of Kedah. The art is said to have been kept secret within the royal family for centuries before it was finally revealed to commoners during the reign of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin III (1854-1879). It was at this time that the sultan taught the art to his right hand warrior and admiral Panglima Ismail who in turn taught it to Panglima Hadi, which was handed down to Panglima Tok Rashid and a few others before finally being entrusted to the late Tok Guru Yahya Bin Said in 1923. Its contemporaries from the same lineage include Silat Kalimah Yahya Said, Silat Kalimah Malaysia and Silat Kalimah Amin, all of which are very similar in form. Other very closely related systems are Silat Cekak Hanafi, Silat Panglima Tok Rashid, and Silat Kalam, which are all variants of Panglima Tok Rashid's teachings. Silat Kuntau Tekpi on the other hand is from the lineage of Allahyarham Panglima Taib bin Wan Hussein, a contemporary of Panglima Tok Rashid. It is said that Panglima Taib preferred the Tekpi while Panglima Tok Rashid preferred the Lading/Kelewang. The usage of the weapons brought about the differences between the Silat styles from Panglima Tok Rashid and Silat Kuntau Tekpi. A few others may still remain unknown or undiscovered.

United States counter-terrorism officials acquired a list of 324 Arabic names captured during a raid on a suspected safe house in Karachi.
Several dozen Guantanamo captives faced the allegation that their name, or alias, was present on this list. The list was always described as a list, in Arabic of 324 names, aliases, and nationalities. Some descriptions further stated that it was the captive's passport, or personal belongings, that was identified on the list.
Some descriptions used the phrase "list of 324 suspected al Qaida members" in place of the phrase "list of 324 Arabic names".
The list was one of several suspicious lists that captives faced during their Combatant Status Review Tribunals or Administrative Review Board hearings.

Yusif Khalil Abdallah Nur is a citizen of Saudi Arabia, who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.
Nur's Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 73.
The Department of Defense reports that he was born on March 16, 1982, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Nur was repatriated without ever been charged on June 24, 2006.
Inconsistent identification
A most wanted poster, from the Defense Intelligence Agency, asserts that a suspect named
Abdul Rahman Abdallah Noor is a former Guantanamo captive.
However Abdul Rahman Abdallah Noor's name is not on the official list of all the Guantanamo captives.
According to the DIA his alias is Abd al-Rahman Bin Khalil Bin Abdallah Nur.
Both men are from Saudi Arabia, but Abdul Rahman Abdallah Noor date of birth is reported to have been January 2, 1980.
One of the factors offered to justify Yusif Khalil Abdallah Nur's continued detention was that he was named on a suspicious list.
On the Summary of Evidence memo prepared for his second annual review board in 2006 his name was transliterated as "Yusef K Abdullah".
