Taliban Frees Americans Corbett and McKenty in Exchange for Khan Mohammad
Jan 21, 2025, 05:28 AM
The Taliban's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that an Afghan prisoner held in U.S. custody, Khan Mohammad—convicted on narcotics and terrorism charges—has been released in exchange for two American citizens detained in Afghanistan, Ryan Corbett and William McKenty. The exchange, facilitated by Qatar after lengthy negotiations, was secured in President Biden's final hours but carried out under President Trump due to delays. Khan Mohammad had been serving a life sentence in California following his arrest in Afghanistan in 2006. The two Americans are reportedly en route back to the United States.
