Fox News
An elderly American couple are returning to San Diego after weeks of being harassed and intimidated by the Taliban when trying to get to the Kabul airport in Afghanistan, U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, of San Diego, said in a statement Wednesday.
The names of the couple, both in their 80s, were being withheld because of safety concerns since they still have family in Afghanistan, according to his office.
Issa’s office began helping the couple logistically after their granddaughter, Zuhal, contacted his office to tell him they had been repeatedly stopped by the Taliban at airport checkpoints for weeks. Her last name was also withheld for safety reasons.
His office didn't detail how the couple got out of the country.
