British Couple Freed from Taliban Captivity Arrives Safely in UK A British couple, Peter Reynolds, 80, and his wife Barbie, 76, have been released from Taliban captivity after nearly eight months and have arrived safely at Heathrow Airport on a flight from Doha. The couple was reunited with their daughter in Qatar on Friday. Their son Jonathan Reynolds expressed relief, saying he is "ecstatic and massively grateful" to those involved in securing their release. The couple lived in Afghanistan for nearly two decades before being detained by the Taliban on February 1st. The Islamist group claimed they had broken Afghan laws but never disclosed a reason for their detention. Their daughter Sarah Entwistle met her parents as they stepped off the plane, and Barbie expressed hope to return to Afghanistan if possible, saying "We are Afghan citizens." The couple's son Jonathan echoed those hopes, adding that his parents' desire is to return to Afghanistan. The family will now reunite in the UK. This is a developing story.
