AN ELDERLY Brit couple wrongfully jailed by the Taliban for eight months have finally been freed in Afghanistan.

Peter Reynolds, 80, and his wife Barbie, 76, were snatched by Taliban thugs and tossed into the country's most notorious prison.

Footage showed the couple smiling before boarding a flight out of Afghanistan.

They were safely released from detention following mediation led by Qatar, Sky News reports.

The parents-of-four had lived in Afghanistan for 18 years, managing training projects - but were kidnapped on February 1 with no explanation.

They were locked up separately at the maximum security Pul-e-Charkhi in Kabul, and later moved to an underground cell beneath the Taliban's intelligence HQ.

They have been together since the 1960s and married in Kabul in 1970.
