The US State Department has labeled Afghanistans Taliban government as a sponsor of wrongful detention, similar to Iran. The Taliban denies holding foreigners hostage, claiming they only arrest individuals for breaking Afghan laws. The US accuses the Taliban of using this tactic to gain leverage, with two Americans, Dennis Coyle and Mahmood Habibi, still detained. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Americans against traveling to Afghanistan and called for the release of Coyle and Habibi. The Taliban denies holding Habibi, while Afghanistans Foreign Ministry describes diplomatic talks with the US as constructive.
