Two unidentified U.S. citizens were exchanged for Khan Mohammed , who was sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment in 2008 .

The family of Ryan Corbett , one American held by the Taliban , confirmed he had been released in a statement.

The Taliban praised the swap as a step toward the “normalization” of ties between the two countries.

Most countries in the world still don't recognize the militants' rule.
