Afghanistan Releases Three Americans in Guantanamo Swap
ai generated text
The White House has initiated negotiations with the Taliban to secure the release of American prisoners in Afghanistan. A proposed swap involves the release of Muhammad Rahim al-Afghani, a close aide to Bin Laden who acted as a negotiator, in exchange for the release of Americans held in Afghanistan.
President Biden and his team continue to work, often in partnership with key allies, to negotiate for the release of Americans held hostage or unjustly detained abroad so that they can be reunited with their families, and the administration will do so throughout the remainder of the term.
Bringing them home will continue to be a top priority for the United States as we work to obtain their release.
We are deeply concerned about the well-being of Americans unjustly detained in Afghanistan – Mahmood, Ryan, and George Glezmann – and raise their detentions in every engagement we have with the Taliban.
