WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin expressed concern on Wednesday about U.S.-Afghan pilots and other personnel being held in Tajikistan after fleeing there last month, during a hearing where a lawmaker complained of foot-dragging by U.S. diplomats.

We will immediately contact the State Department officials to discuss how we can make this work. Austin stated that he shared your concerns during the hearing of the House Armed Services Committee.
