LONDON: British couple Barbie and Peter Reynolds arrived in London on Saturday after their release by Afghanistan&#39;s Taliban. Barbie Reynolds, 76, and her husband Peter, 80, walked through the arrivals area of London&#39;s Heathrow airport with family members. The couple flew first to Qatar from Kabul after they were detained in February and freed after what an official with knowledge of the matter described as months of negotiations with the Taliban by Qatar in coordination with Britain. Family members said they had been concerned for the health of the couple, who ran a charity in Afghanistan where they had lived for 18 years, staying on after the Taliban returned to power in 2021.
