Canadian man, family released after held by Taliban-linked group for 5 years

Canadian Joshua Boyle, his better half and their three youngsters are free in the wake of putting in five years in imprisonment, held by a gathering related with the Taliban.

In 2012, Boyle and his American-conceived spouse, Caitlan Coleman, set out on a voyage through Central Asia and were caught close to the Afghanistan-Pakistan fringe.

Coleman was pregnant at the time. She has now brought forth three kids in bondage — two young men and a young lady.

It's as yet not known precisely where the family is and when they would come back to North America.

A U.S. national security official said the family was not in U.S. care, however they were as one of every a safe, yet undisclosed, area in Pakistan, as per the Associated Press.
