Marco Rubio warns the Taliban about reports of Americans hostages. If it is found to be true then the US would impose a significant amount of bounty on the top leaders of Taliban and it would be more than one placed on Osama Bin Laden.
Regarding the same,Rubio has raised his concern on X, “Just hearing the Taliban is holding more American hostages than has been reported. If this is true, we will have to immediately place a VERY BIG bounty on their top leaders, maybe even bigger than the one we had on Bin Laden.”
Rubio gave this statement two days after Ryan Corbett and William McKenty were released from Taliban prison in exchange with narco-terrorist Khan Mohammed to the Taliban. This deal was done during the last days of the Biden administration and was welcomed as a step to bring Americans home. But there are still American citizens in Taliban’s custody like George Glezman and Mahmood Habibi.
In July 2024,the Senate passed a resolution asking for the release of Mahmood Habibi, an American, reportedly enduring severe medical issues during his captivity, including facial tumors, hypertension, and malnutrition but Taliban has repeatedly denied his detention.
