George Glezmann, an American man abducted in December 2022 while traveling in Afghanistan, was released through a negotiation involving the Trump administration and Qatari officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged Qatar's significant diplomatic role in securing Glezmann's freedom. This marks the third American detainee released by the Taliban since January. While celebrating Glezmann's return to his wife in the U.S., Rubio emphasized that several Americans remain unjustly detained in Afghanistan.
George's release is a positive and constructive step," Rubio said. "It is also a reminder that other Americans are still detained in Afghanistan.
The Taliban disclosed earlier Thursday that Boehler had been meeting on hostage issues with a delegation that included Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi.
