American Woman Freed After Months in Taliban Custody

Faye Dail Hall, an American citizen detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan since February, has been released. Her detention was reportedly due to unauthorized use of a drone. The release was confirmed by multiple sources, including former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad. Hall's case had drawn attention due to concerns over the safety of foreign nationals in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Her release marks a rare instance of cooperation between the Taliban and U.S. intermediaries.
