  • could be seen as international child abduction.

    "Could be"??? Having read the article and the linked article I can't imagine any metric by which this is anything other than an international child abduction.

    He literally kidnapped her from the family members who were raising her.

    Edit: and for anyone who had reservations about her going back to Afghanistan, that's not at issue here as her real family are now in the US as well.

    • "Could be" is journo speak for they don't want to get sued. That's why they use wishy-washy milquetoast language for everything.
