Taliban Frees Two American Prisoners
------------------------------------

In other news from Afghanistan, the Taliban has freed two American
prisoners, including independent filmmaker Ivor Shearer, who was
detained in August while filming near the site of a drone strike that
killed al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. Shearer was arrested along
with his Afghan producer, Faizullah Faizbakhsh. It's unknown whether
he's still detained.
