An Al-Qaeda affiliated operative who has been held in administrative detention in Israel for the past three years, recently appealed to the Israeli Supreme Court requesting to end his detention, the Channel 2 news reported Monday.

Samar Halmi Abdel Latif al-Barq, originally from Kuwait with Palestinian roots, was arrested in 2010 while trying to cross from Jordan into Israel via the Allenby Bridge.

Al-Baraq, an expert on biological weapons, had allegedly undergone military trainings in Afghanistan and has been involved in militant operations throughout the world, targeting Israelis and Jews visiting Jordan, among others.

Following his 2010 arrest he was questioned by the Israeli security services about his part in militant activity and was kept imprisoned for three years without trial.

He had recently appealed to the Israeli Supreme Court requesting to end his administrative detention and a discussion on the appeal commenced on Monday noon, according to the Court Authority.

"The prisoner is an activist of the global terror organization Al-Qaeda, with much background in the unconventional weapons field, specifically biological warfare. His release at this point will be a no-return point for the development of Jihad infrastructure in the region," the state said in a written response to the appeal, according to a statement by the court authority.

Al-Barq was born in 1974 and moved from Kuwait to Pakistan in 1997 to study microbiology. He allegedly underwent military trainings in 1998 in Afghanistan and was recruited in 2001 to the militant group.

In 2003 he was arrested by the US security forces and interrogated for three months, after which he was passed on to the authorities in Jordan, where he was locked for five years for his membership of the organization and his alleged involvement in a project developing biological warfare.
