Wagga Wagga man held captive in Afghanistan for three years landed at Sydney airport on Thursday night
Australian teacher Timothy Weeks, held captive by the Taliban for three years after being abducted at gunpoint in Kabul, has returned home to Australia.
Weeks, 50, flew into Sydney about 10pm Thursday night, bypassing the public arrivals hall and escorted from the airport by officials. Having been freed in a complex prisoner swap for captured Taliban insurgents, Weeks has spent several days at a US military base in Germany undergoing medical checks.
