The warning comes after the Biden administration secured the release of two Americans. Secretary of State Rubio is threatening Taliban leaders with a “very big” bounty after he heard that there are more Americans being held in Afghanistan than previously known.

Americans Ryan Corbett and William W. McKenty III were freed, their families said. The Taliban said Khan Mohammed, an Afghan serving a life sentence in California, was released.

In the very last hours of President Joe Biden’s time in office, a prisoner exchange years in the making was finally struck: the Taliban agreed to swap two Americans being held in Afghanistan for one Taliban member serving a life sentence in a US prison.

The new U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has issued a stern warning to the Taliban, threatening to place a large bounty on their leaders. This statement came after Rubio claimed that the Taliban are holding more American hostages than reported.
