An American woman and her family, who had been held captive since 2012 by the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani network after being kidnapped while hiking in Afghanistan, were freed, the White House announced Thursday.
Caitlin Coleman, 32, was seven months pregnant when she and her Canadian husband Josh Boyle were abducted.
President Trump appeared to hint at the news of Coleman's release during a speech in Coleman's home state of Pennsylvania.
"Something happened today, where a country that totally disrespected us called with some very, very important news," Trump said. "And one of my generals came in. They said, 'You know, I have to tell you, a year ago they would've never done that.' It was a great sign of respect. You'll probably be hearing about it over the next few days. But this is a country that did not respect us. This is a country that respects us now. The world is starting to respect us again, believe me.

Ah, nope. Another place to avoid. 😀😆😄
Maybe there’s a special travel agency that these people call for these trips.

There is. Hellen (sometimes) Back exotic tours.
US Intel tracked the couple while they were being moved and Pakistan picked them up when they enter the country
And Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Thailand, India ... Peru, Argentina, Chile ... China, even ...
But AFGHANISTAN????
“”we have a lot of great national parks in America....””
Michelle obozo would take you up on that offer. Before the 2012 election she said if they were returned to the WH - don’t you love the THEY - she wanted to visit every single one of the national parks. HA! Don’t think she made it to any. They went to the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone, I believe in the first term and that was their sole interest in our NATIONAL PARKS.
It will be interesting to see how much “brainwashing” occurred during their time in captivity.
She came home with more than that. 3 children, all born in captivity over the last 5 years.
From the article:
The operation that set Coleman, Boyle and their children free remains somewhat mysterious. Pakistan's armed forces said in a statement an operation was undertaken by Pakistani forces based on actionable intelligence provided by U.S. authorities. U.S. intelligence agencies had reportedly been tracking the hostages and shared the location with Pakistani counterparts when the hostages shifted into Pakistani territory Wednesday.
This whole story is unbelievable. I sure don’t believe it.
The article says the husband refused to get on a U.S. military jet because he feared he would end up in Guantanamo because he had been married to the sister of someone who was there.
