An earlier version of this article incorrectly said Bashir Noorzai had been held in Guantánamo Bay. He was serving his life sentence in a federal penitentiary. The article has been corrected., a civilian contractor who was abducted in Kabul over two years ago, was released in exchange for an Afghan detainee held in U.S. federal prison, a top Taliban official announced Monday.
The president added that “bringing the negotiations that led to Mark’s freedom to a successful resolution required difficult decisions, which I did not take lightly. U.S. plan to withdraw from Afghanistan prompts fears that U.S. hostage held by Taliban will be left behind “We welcome the release of Haji Bashir, an Afghan who spent 17 years in the United States. This will open a new chapter in the bilateral relations between the United States and Afghanistan,” acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi announced at a news conference in Kabul that was broadcast by local television outlets.
