The reported visit follows one in March 2025 which led to the release of a US citizen held for more than two years in Afghanistan.
US officials have agreed to a prisoner exchange with the Taliban following talks in Kabul, involving special envoy Adam Boehler and Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi. The exchange aims to secure the release of detained Americans, including the high-profile case of businessman Mahmood Habibi, while the Taliban seeks the release of Muhammad Rahim from Guantanamo Bay.
