John Walker Lindh, who was 20 years old when he was captured, was released amid concerns about his rehabilitation.

Lindh, who was 20 years old when he was captured, was released amid concerns about his rehabilitation.

His release brought objections from elected officials who asked why Lindh was being freed early and what training parole officers had to spot radicalisation and recidivism among former jihadists. The bureau said in a statement that it does not share details of specific inmates' release plans but that it does have policies for monitoring parolees with ties to terrorism.
