American Academic Freed After Taliban Detention

Afghanistans Taliban rulers released American academic Dennis Coyle after a year-long detention, following a family appeal and Supreme Court ruling. Coyle, a language researcher from Pueblo, was freed on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. The U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, welcomed the release but emphasized the need for further action. The U.S. has labeled Afghanistan a sponsor of wrongful detention, while Afghan officials deny these allegations. Two other Americans, Mahmood Habibi and Paul Overby, remain missing or held. Mediators from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar assisted in Coyles case, and both sides hope dialogue can resolve remaining issues.
