Ayub Kheyl (Persian: أيوب خيل) (Ab Khail) is a small village 11 km (7 miles) outside Khost, Afghanistan.

After the fight, the Americans captured the wounded 15-year-old Omar Khadr, who they learned was a Canadian citizen. He was among the youngest persons detained at Guantanamo Bay detention camp and the last Western citizen held there.
