Afghanistan’s government has arrested two United States nationals over violations of law in the country, spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said on Monday.
Mujahid did not reveal the identities of the detained individuals and said that other foreigners had also been arrested.
“I think there are two Americans, and the reasons for their visit are not clear yet; but whatever the reasons, anyone coming to Afghanistan is obliged to observe the laws of Afghanistan. Anyone who gets an Afghan visa means they agree to follow our laws,” spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said on Monday.
American officials have already said that two of their nationals are in Afghan custody. They had even identified one of the men as Ryan Corbett.
The US officials had also claimed that the Americans were being detained ‘without reason’.
