Taliban Frees American Hostage After Over Two Years In Captivity​

The Taliban freed an American hostage after enduring two and a half years of captivity in Afghanistan, the State Department announced Thursday.​

​

American Delta Airlines mechanic George Glezmann, 65, will return home after the U.S. negotiated with the Taliban in Qatar for his release, according to the State Department. Glezmann was initially taken hostage when visiting Afghanistan as a tourist in 2022.​

​

“George’s release is a positive and constructive step,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in the announcement. “It is also a reminder that other Americans are still detained in Afghanistan. President Trump will continue his tireless work to free ALL Americans unjustly detained around the world.”​

​

Another brought home!

What did offer in return? Who did we free?

You seem to be right, but there is one prisoner still there whom the Taliban claims they are not holding.

The Afghanistan tourist industry is seriously overlooked these days. I'm looking to book a 700 day all expenses paid at a sweet all inclusive property with a view of the Hindu Kush mountains later this year.
