Afghanistan's Taliban government announced the release of 2 Americans in a prisoner exchange. Ryan Corbett's family says he's one of them.

The prisoner exchange was the result of "long and productive" negotiations between Afghan and American authorities, Afghanistan's foreign ministry said in a statement. Mohammad was arrested in eastern Afghanistan in 2006 and extradited to the U.S a year later, according to the DOJ website.
