American Citizen Faye Hall Released by Taliban After Two Months in Detention

Hall, detained in February on charges of unauthorized drone use, was freed following a court order and Qatari mediation, with arrangements underway for her return to the US.

  • Faye Hall, an American detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan since February, has been released and is in good health.
  • Her release was secured through a court order and mediation efforts by Qatar, which has played a key role in US-Taliban negotiations.
  • Hall is currently under the care of the Qatari Embassy in Kabul, with plans being finalized for her return to the United States.
  • The US recently removed bounties on three Taliban officials, including members of the Haqqani Network, while maintaining their terrorist designations.
  • This development follows earlier efforts by former US officials to secure the release of another American detainee, George Glezmann, also mediated by Qatar.
