Mahmood Shah Habibi, an Afghan-American businessman who worked for a telecommunications firm, was abducted along with his driver in the Afghan capital in 2022, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The US State Department last month said it was “offering a reward of up to $5 million for certain information leading to the location, recovery, and safe return” of Habibi, directly accusing the Taliban authorities’ intelligence unit for his disappearance.
“No evidence has been uncovered indicating that he has been detained by any entity affiliated with the Islamic Emirate,“ government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement, using the Taliban authorities’ name for their administration.
Mujahid “categorically” rejected the involvement of the General Directorate of Intelligence.
Their government has not been recognised by any country.
Multiple US citizens have been released from Taliban custody this year, however.
In January, the Taliban government released two Americans, Ryan Corbett and William McKenty, for an Afghan detained in the United States in an exchange mediated by Qatar. – AFP
