Elderly British couple released by Taliban arrive in Qatar

An undated handout picture released by the family of Peter and Barbie Reynolds in London on August 1, 2025, shows Peter and Barbie Reynolds posing for a photograph at an unknown location. The family of elderly British couple Peter and Barbie Reynolds, detained for six months by Taliban authorities in Afghanistan, fears the worst. "I don't know if they're still alive," said their son, Jonathan Reynolds, who has not spoken to his parents since their last phone call on June 15. Peter, 80, and Barbie, 76, were arrested in February along with Chinese-American friend Faye Hall while returning to their home in Bamiyan province, west of Kabul.
