Journalist for Canadian CTV designated enemy combatant by US military
Jawed Ahmad is 22 years old. He also goes by the nickname of Jojo Yazemi, and at his young age is employed by Canada's CTV television network. At least he was--Jawed was arrested by the U.S. military in October 2007. According to his brother Siddique Ahmad, as reported by the U.S.-based Committee To Protect Journalists (CPJ), "Jojo" got a phone call that his CTV colleagues wanted to meet with him at Kandahar airport. Except, no one from CTV recalled calling him to meet that day. Instead of his coworkers, Ahmad showed up to find U.S. forces waiting for him, where they arrested him at the Afghanistan airbase.
When Jojo's brother contacted CPJ, he said that the U.S. military believed JoJo had contacts with local Taliban leaders and was in possession of a video of Taliban materials. CPJ then contacted the U.S. Department of Defense in Afghanistan, and received confirmation that Ahmad was being held, but further information was not available.
