PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): The Taliban is not in their custody
Zalmay Khalilzad sought the release of Mark Frerichs, a US contractor, during his meeting on Wednesday with representatives of Taliban’s political office in Doha.
Speaking to VOA on Friday, Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen confirmed: “Yes, Dr. Khalilzad asked for his release and he has made similar requests in our previous meetings with him.”
But the Taliban once again conveyed to the American diplomat that Mark Frerichs was neither seized nor held by them . . .
