British couple held by Taliban for months feared they would be executed

A British couple, Peter and Barbie Reynolds, released by the Taliban in Afghanistan after seven and a half months in detention, feared they would be executed while held in 10 different prisons. The couple, in their 70s and 80s, had health issues during their imprisonment, with no clear explanation given for their detention or release. The Reynolds have been running charity programs in Afghanistan for nearly two decades, emphasizing the importance of diplomacy for their freedom, with Qatar's mediation acknowledged.
