Zalmay Khalilzad, the former U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan, has announced the release of another American citizen in the country.

Khalilzad said in a post on his X account that, according to information from the Islamic Emirate’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Faye Dai Hall, an American citizen who has been in custody in Afghanistan, will be released soon.

Earlier, George Glezmann, an American citizen whom the Islamic Emirate had held for over two years, was also released.

US Vice President JD Vance said on Friday that Joe Biden administration left about $80 billion worth of military equipment in Afghanistan, which was a “catastrophic error.”

Vance made the remarks during a visit to a military base in Greenland.

He also said the Biden administration’s “catastrophic error” led to the deaths of 13 US soldiers in an attack during the evacuation at Kabul airport in August 2021.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump also criticized the abandonment of military equipment in Afghanistan and called for its return.

The Islamic Emirate, however, has said that the weapons left by the US in Afghanistan belong to the Afghans and will not be returned.

The Supreme Court announced on Saturday that based on the ruling of the supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate, 2,463 prisoners have been pardoned and released on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

The court said in a statement that the prison terms of another 3,152 prisoners have been reduced.

Eid in Afghanistan will be celebrated on Sunday or Monday, depending on the moon sighting.
