Haftar aided in freeing American hostage
An agreement has been reached for the release of American pilot Kevin Rydot, who was being held captive by a group affiliated with ISIS in the Sahel region of West Africa. He was handed over to Libyan authorities on Thursday evening after a Libyan entity paid a ransom, according to anonymous sources, though the exact details and the size of the ransom have not been disclosed. Previously, the Trump administration lifted sanctions on financial officials to aid in the search efforts, and it was believed that he had been transferred to Mali before it was confirmed he was in the group's custody in Libya. U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his welcome at his return home.
