Taliban releases US citizen after visit by envoy
Afghanistan's ruling Taliban released another US citizen from custody on Sunday after a visit by Washington's hostage envoy Adam Boehler, the US government said.
Amir Amiri, who had been detained in Afghanistan since December 2024, was released through Qatari mediation and was on his way to Doha on Sunday evening, an official source told Reuters.
Boehler's visit came a week after US President Donald Trump urged the Taliban to give back control of Bagram air base to the United States, threatening "bad things" would happen to Afghanistan if it does not.
