On the one-year anniversary of Frerichsâ abduction, family members and other supporters are urging the Biden administration to not withdraw additional troops without the Navy veteran being released from captivity. Frerichs was abducted one year ago Sunday while working in the country on engineering projects. U.S. officials believe he is in the custody of the Haqqani network, though the Taliban has not publicly acknowledged holding him. (Twitter via AP)
