USA could put a “very high bounty” on the top leaders of the Taliban, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday, adding that he had heard that the Taliban were holding more American hostages than previously reported.
“I have heard that the Taliban are holding more American hostages than previously reported,” Rubio said in a post on the social media platform X/Twitter.
“If what we heard is true, our government will have to immediately place a big bounty on their top leaders, maybe even bigger than the one we had on Al Qaeda leader Bin Laden,” he said.
