A top al-Qaeda figure suspected of having close ties to Osama Bin Laden has been taken to the US-run Guantanamo Bay detention camp, the Pentagon says.

The detainee, Muhammad Rahim, helped prepare the Tora Bora caves used as a hideout for bin Laden in Afghanistan in 2001, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said.

Rahim also attempted to procure chemicals for a plan to attack coalition forces in Afghanistan and to recruit people with access to U.S. military facilities, Whitman said.
