		</div><p>The California man who became known as the American Taliban after his battlefield capture in Afghanistan in November 2001 is being released from prison.</p>
<p>Thirty-eight-year-old John Walker Lindh has spent more than 17 years in prison after pleading guilty to providing support to the Taliban.</p>
<p>His status in the inmate registry changed from scheduled for release on Thursday from the US federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, to “unknown”.</p>
<p>His lawyer in Virginia, Bill Cummings, said “no comment, bye-bye” when asked if Lindh had been freed.</p>
<p>Lindh’s plea deal called for a 20-year sentence, but he is getting out a few years early for good behaviour.</p>
<p>His release has been opposed by the family of Mike Spann, who was killed in Afghanistan during an uprising of Taliban prisoners.</p>
<p>Mr Spann had interrogated Lindh shortly before the attack.</p>
<p>A judge recently imposed additional restrictions on Lindh’s post-release supervision, including monitoring of his internet use.</p>
