Kabul [Afghanistan], March 30: An American woman who had been detained in Afghanistan by the Taliban since February has been released and is in "good health," according to a source with knowledge of the release.
Faye Hall was released on Thursday "following a court order and with logistical support from Qatar," which has been mediating on the US' behalf, the source said. She was detained in the country on charges of using a drone without authorization.
"Hall was received at the Qatari Embassy in Kabul and has been confirmed in good health after undergoing a series of medical checks. Arrangements are currently underway for her return to the United States," the source added. An image of Hall was shared on Saturday by Zalmay Khalilzad, the US' former ambassador to Afghanistan.
