American released by Taliban returns home to ‘champion’s welcome’

Taliban hostage George Glezmann landed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Friday after more than 800 days in captivity in Afghanistan, where he received a ‘champion’s welcome.’

‘I feel born again,’ Glezmann told Fox News. ‘I have no words. 

‘President Trump is amazing,’ he added before thanking Secretary of State Marcon Rubio, national security advisor Mike Waltz and hostage envoy Adam Boehler. 

‘A free American individual…abducted because of my U.S. passport.’

‘I’ve got no words to express my gratitude for my liberty,’ Glezmann added.

His wife, Aleksandra, arrived shortly after her husband landed, and the two embraced after she got out of the car for the first time since his Dec. 5, 2022, capture in Kabul. 

Ryan Corbett, who was released in January after nearly 900 days in Taliban captivity greeted Glezmann upon arrival.

Both Glezmann and Corbett were held together in Afghanistan.

News of Glezmann’s release was first revealed to Fox News Digital on Thursday after he departed from the Kabul International Airport headed for Doha, Qatar.

His release was secured after Boehler and Qatari officials engaged in direct communications with the Taliban in Afghanistan.  

Boehler met Glezmann in Kabul before the former captive flew from Doha to the Maryland base located just outside of Washington, D.C.
