The Taliban announced the release of American citizens in exchange for Afghan fighter Khan Mohammad, who had been serving a life sentence in California. Mohammad was arrested nearly two decades ago in Nangarhar, Afghanistan. The swap, facilitated by Qatar, marks a significant shift in US-Taliban relations following President Biden’s term.
The family of Ryan Corbett expressed immense gratitude for his return, citing over 800 days of uncertainty. The Taliban hailed the exchange as a positive example of resolving issues through dialogue, appreciating Qatar’s role in facilitating the deal.
