FARAKHABAR: Return Of Haqqani Prisoners To Bagram Discussed
A source said that the exchange of captured Haqqani Network members Anas Haqqani, Hafiz Rashid and Mali Khan for two kidnapped professors did not take place.
Three days earlier, President Ghani announced that the three Haqqani Network members would be “conditionally” released.
According to a source who spoke with Tolonews on Thursday, Anas Haqqani, Hafiz Rashid and Mali Khan have been transferred back to Bagram air base.
The three insurgent prisoners were expected to be handed over to the Qatari government and then handed over to the Taliban's political office in Qatar, but sources told TOLOnews that this had not been done and that the planned exchange is stuck in an impasse.
