(Reuters) – An Afghan prisoner in American custody was freed in exchange for U.S. citizens, Afghanistan’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
“The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers this exchange a good example of resolving issues through dialogue and extends special gratitude to the brotherly nation of Qatar for its effective role in this process,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
