Family of Western Couple Held by Taliban Pleads for Their Release 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In the aftermath of the U.S.-Taliban prisoner exchange, the family of an
American woman and her Canadian husband held captive in Afghanistan
since late 2012 are calling for renewed efforts to win their release. On
Wednesday, relatives shared a video they say came from the Taliban of
Caitlin Coleman and Joshua Boyle pleading for their freedom. Coleman was
pregnant at the time of their capture and gave birth in captivity.
