Taliban Agrees to Release Remaining 19 South Korean Hostages
Tuesday , August 28, 2007 AP GHAZNI, Afghanistan — Taliban militants in Afghanistan agreed to release 19 South Korean church volunteers held captive since July 19, a spokesman for the insurgents and the South Korean government said Tuesday. Qari Yousef Ahmadi, a Taliban spokesman, said South Korean and Taliban delegates at face-to-face talks Tuesday in the central town of Ghazni had "reached an agreement" to release the captives. In Seoul, South Korean presidential spokesman Cheon Ho-sun confirmed a deal was reached. "We welcome the agreement to release 19 South Koreans," said Cheon Ho-sun. The South Korean government said the hostage release was based on the condition that the country withdraws its troops from Afghanistan by year end as previously planned and stops missionary work. |
