    Chinese-American woman thanks Trump after being released by Taliban in Afghanistan

    Published on

    An American woman freed by the Taliban in Afghanistan celebrated her release, in a video shared Saturday by US President Donald Trump, in which she thanked him for helping secure her freedom.

    In a video shared on Trump’s Truth Social account, Faye Hall is seen smiling and in apparently good health, saying: “Thank you for bringing me home.”

    Hall, a British couple and their Afghan translator were detained on February 1 as they travelled to central Bamiyan province.

    Washington’s former envoy to Kabul, Zalmay Khalilzad, said Hall was in the care of the Qatari delegation in Kabul.

    “American citizen Faye Hall, just released by the Taliban, is now in the care of our friends, the Qataris in Kabul, and will soon be on her way home,” Khalilzad, who has been part of a US delegation working on Taliban hostage releases, wrote on social media.

    While at the Qatari embassy, Hall “has been confirmed in good health after undergoing a series of medical checks”, according to a source with knowledge of the release.
