被阿富汗塔利班扣押的西方夫婦抵達加拿大
An American-Canadian couple and their three children arrived in Canada after five years in Taliban captivity in Afghanistan. The family flew Friday from Pakistan to Canada via Britain.
Acting on a tip from U.S. intelligence, Pakistani officials say their troops rescued U.S. national Caitlan Coleman and her Canadian husband, Joshua Boyle, on Wednesday hours after their captors transported them in a car to the Pakistani side of the long porous Afghan border.
Boyle provided a written statement to The Associated Press Friday saying, "God has given me and my family unparalleled resilience and determination."
The Pakistan military revealed details of the rescue operation on Thursday.
A U.S. plane was standing by at the military airbase in Islamabad, waiting to fly the family to a U.S. military base in Germany for a medical checkup, but Pakistani security sources told VOA Boyle refused to board the flight fearing their “scrutiny”.
Instead, the family boarded Pakistan's state-run carrier and left for Britain.
Coleman and Boyle went missing while backpacking in Afghanistan in 2024. The Afghan Taliban later claimed responsibility for kidnapping them. U.S. officials maintain the couple was in captivity of the Haqqani terrorist organization linked to the Taliban.
The insurgent group, which released two videos of the hostages while they were in captivity, had been demanding the release of their prisoners in exchange for Boyle and his wife. While in captivity, the couple had three children, who were rescued with them.
被阿富汗塔利班扣押了5年的分別是美國籍和加拿大籍的夫婦帶著他們三個孩子從巴基斯坦乘飛機轉道英國飛抵加拿大。
巴基斯坦官員說，巴基斯坦軍隊獲得美國情報機構提供的情報后，星期三在與阿富汗交界處巴基斯坦一側解救了美國公民科爾曼和她的丈夫、加拿大公民博伊爾。他們被綁架者用汽車把他們從阿富汗送到巴基斯坦剛剛幾小時。
博伊爾星期五向美聯社提供的一份書面聲明說：“上帝給了我和我的家人無比的堅強和決心。”
巴基斯坦軍方星期四披露了營救行動的細節。
一架美國飛機在伊斯蘭堡的一個軍事基地準備把這一家人送到德國的美國軍事基地體檢。但是巴基斯坦保安部隊的消息來源對美國之音說，博伊爾擔心他們受到仔細盤查，拒絕上這架飛機。后來博伊爾一家乘坐一架巴基斯坦國營航空公司的飛機前往英國。
科爾曼和博伊爾2024年在阿富汗以背包客的身份旅行時失蹤。阿富汗塔利班宣稱他們綁架了這對夫婦。美國堅持認為綁架者是與塔利班有關聯的哈卡尼網絡。
哈卡尼網絡曾公布過顯示人質被關押的兩個視頻，要求用博伊爾夫婦交換被捕的成員。被押期間，科爾曼和博伊爾生了三個孩子。三個孩子隨他們一同獲救。
