Khalid Mohammed Salih Al Dhuby is a citizen of Yemen currently held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba after being classified as an enemy combatant by the United States's. American intelligence analysts estimate that Al Dhuby was born in 1981, in Ta'if, Saudi Arabia.

The Department of Defense assigned him the Internment Serial Number 506 and classified him as an enemy combatant based on the allegation that he attended a training camp. Al Dhuby maintained that he had never fired a shot at anyone, that he “was not a fighter or a killer,” and that he only “wanted to train to protect himself and his family as well as defend his country.”

As of September 17, 2010, Khalid Mohammed Salih al Dhuby has been held at Guantanamo for eight years four months.
