But US and Cuban investigations have produced no evidence of any weapon, and the neurologists argue that the possibility of "functional disorder" due to a problem in the functioning of nervous system - rather than a disease - should be considered.

"From an objective point of view it's more like mass hysteria than anything else," said Mark Hallett, the head of the human motor control section of the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Alan Carson, a consultant neuropsychiatrist and former president of the British Neuropsychiatry Association told the Guardian: "Typically what one gets in a functional disorder is some trigger. It is often relatively mild and non-specific, it can be a minor physical injury. But then a combination of a degree of anxiety and also belief and expectation distort that feeling."

"If there is a strong enough expectation that something is going to happen, that will distort in an entirely real way the incoming information," Carson said. "In certain circumstances that can be transmitted from person to person... If one person has that experience strongly enough and sets off that train of thought in somebody's else's mind, that can happen too."

The White House announced the negotiated release of an American woman and her family Thursday, all of whom had been held hostage in Afghanistan by the Taliban-linked Haqqani network since 2012.

"Today they are free. This is a positive moment for our country's relationship with Pakistan," President Trump said in a statement. "The Pakistani government's cooperation is a sign that it is honoring America's wishes for it to do more to provide security in the region."

But things took a bizarre twist Thursday afternoon when officials said the woman's husband, Josh Boyle, was refusing to leave the country.

But Boyle is refusing to board an American military plane in Pakistan waiting to take them home, fearing he'll be arrested, a U.S. official said.

The Canadian-born Khadr was 15 in 2002 when he tossed a grenade in a firefight that killed U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer, a special forces medic.

One U.S. official told The Associated Press that Boyle was nervous about being in "custody" given his background. [...]

The couple has told U.S. officials that they wanted to fly commercially to Canada, according to an official who spoke to The Associated Press.

Until their release this week, they were last seen in a December 2016 hostage video pleading for their governments to intervene.

"Please don't become the next Jimmy Carter," Coleman said in the video, addressing former President Obama. "Just give the offenders something so they and you can save face so we can leave the region permanently."

Details regarding the operation that freed the family are still unknown, but sources told Fox News that the effort to secure the family's release was being worked on for a long time and included putting pressure on the Pakistani government to help. The source also told Fox the U.S. did not pay for the family's release.
