Taliban ambassador warns Rubio against bounty threat over Americans detained in Afghanistan

Taliban envoy Suhail Shaheen warned US secretary of state Marco Rubio against making threats after Rubio suggested placing bounties on Taliban leaders for detaining Americans. This follows a recent prisoner swap under Biden's administration, freeing two Americans while others remain captive. Shaheen emphasized resolving issues through dialogue, citing Qatar's role in mediating such cases, including the release of Canadian David Lavery. The Taliban returned to power in 2021 after decades of conflict with US forces.
