No other details were available about Azizudin’s release, CNN reported.

Azizudin was last seen a month ago when video was released of him pleading for the Pakistan government to negotiate for his release.

His kidnapping apparently happened somewhere along the Kabul-Turkham highway, the only route between Kabul and the Pakistan city of Peshawar, officials said.

The highway runs through Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas, also known as the Khyber Agency.
