Lindh had been sentenced to 20 years after he reached a plea deal that spared him from what could have been more than three life terms in prison. He was released for good behavior, according to NBC News.
John Walker Lindh, an American man who was captured fighting alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, has been released from federal prison after 17 years.
American officials are concerned that Lindh may still pose a risk for terrorism. In 2015, he wrote a letter to an NBC Los Angeles producer in which he said the terror group ISIS was "doing a spectacular job."
