A baby who went missing during the US-led evacuation of Afghanistan has been returned to his family in Kabul four months later, Reuters reported.
The baby disappeared in the Kabul airport crisis when he was 2 months old after his parents handed him over to US troops.
After this incident, a taxi driver found the child and kept him in his house until now.
The baby, named "Soheil", was handed over to his grandfather in Badakhshan after identification, and his parents are currently in the United States.
Mirza Ali Ahmadi, Soheil's father, a US embassy staffer in Kabul, and his wife, Suraya, had evacuated their children to the US military near the Kabul airport wall during the unrest to avoid injury. Upon arrival at the airport, they find out that their baby is missing.
US officials at the time told Mirza Ali that his son might have been transferred out of Afghanistan; But the child was left at the airport and Safi took him home.
Following the publication of a Reuters report on Soheil's disappearance, Safi's neighbors identified Soheil's photo.
After finding Soheil, the taxi driver refused to hand over the baby, and finally, after the family complained and the child talked and negotiated, he was handed over to his grandfather yesterday after 4 months.
