Barbie and Peter Reynolds, a British couple detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan earlier this year, have been released and flown to Doha, Qatar, according to a source familiar with the matter who spoke to Reuters.
The pair were reportedly taken into custody in February under undisclosed circumstances. Their release was facilitated through diplomatic efforts led by Qatari officials, who have played a key role in mediating sensitive negotiations in the region.
No further details regarding the conditions of their detention or the terms of their release have been made public. British authorities have yet to issue an official statement.
The case underscores Qatar’s growing influence as a diplomatic intermediary in complex international affairs.
