The State Department official, who asked not to be identified, declined to provide a timetable for the transfer, but said the United States wanted to transfer all detainees at the same time, Reuters reported.
Details of the US plan have not been announced before.
Reuters had exclusively published direct testimonies from 143 Afghan soldiers, who had previously received training in the United States, and are currently being held in an area outside Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, awaiting an American flight to take them to a third country, before their eventual resettlement in the United States.
These personnel, who are currently in Tajikistan, are the last of a large group of American-trained pilots whose fate remains unclear, after dozens of advanced military aircraft were flown across the Afghan border to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in August in the final moments of the war with the Taliban.
