Taleban Frees all Korean Hostages

The last seven South Korean hostages held by the Taleban in Afghanistan have been handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross. They were released in two groups, within the space of a few hours, late on Thursday. On Wednesday, 12 of their fellow Christian charity workers were released after a six week ordeal. The Taleban seized the group of 23 last month as they traveled by bus on the main Kandahar to Kabul highway.
