Afghanistan frees US citizen Dennis Coyle over a year after Taliban arrest

An American man held by the Taliban for more than a year without charges has been released and is on his way home, Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs Adam Boehler told Fox News.

Dennis Coyle, 64, an academic who spent nearly two decades working in Afghanistan, was taken from his home in Kabul in January 2025 by Taliban intelligence and held in near-solitary confinement, Boehler said, adding that Coyle committed no crime and was used as leverage.

Last month, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Afghanistan a “state sponsor of wrongful detention,” accusing the Taliban of unjustly detaining Americans and other foreign nationals like Coyle and calling for his release.
