The arrest of a British couple in Afghanistan, Peter Reynolds, 79, and his wife Barbie, 75, was due to a “misunderstanding” according to the Taliban. They were detained on 1 February by the Taliban’s interior ministry without an immediate reason. However, the couple was accused of possessing fake Afghan passports. The couple, who were married in Kabul in 1970 and have lived in Afghanistan for 18 years, operates an organization called Rebuild, which provides education and training programs for businesses, government agencies, educational organizations, and non-governmental groups. The news is still developing, and more details are expected soon. Follow Sky News for updates.
