Soldiers rescue a family held hostage for five years

Pakistani soldiers have survived the kidnapping of a North American couple along with their children, who have been held hostage by Taliban terrorist groups for more than five years. According to a tip from American intelligence agencies, the hostage rescue operation was successfully completed, which Taliban forces have threatened with execution.

Thanks to an discovery by American intelligence agencies, Pakistani troops saved a Canadian citizen, his American wife and their three children who were held hostage by Taliban terrorists.

The United States intelligence revealed important information about the whereabouts of the American family, which was abducted during a trip to Afghanistan in 2012. According to intelligence intelligence, the hostages had moved to Pakistan's northwest border, thus helping Pakistani forces successfully realise the rescue operation.

Taliban leaders confirmed in December that they had published a video featuring the kidnapped American-Canadian family, including their children held hostage by the Haqhan terrorist network. The video provided by American intelligence shows the couple's two boys, while American Catlan Coleman was pregnant with the third child during the kidnapping.

Another video in 2016 shows the American-Canadian couple appealing to their governments to pressure Afghanistan to prevent their execution.

Pakistan's military said this successful operation showed their country's strong alenaca with the United States to fight terrorism.
