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.
