Begg is a British Muslim who traveled with his wife and family to Afghanistan in the summer of 2001. Quickly caught up in the US occupation of Afghanistan and crackdown on suspected terrorists, Begg was captured in the night from Islamabad and began the "Kafkaesque" years-long journey through the now infamous places and practices highlighted in our current conflict.
