Movement “Taliban” has released eight South-Korean hostages: six women and two men. After the release Koreans have been sent on the main American military base in Afghanistan.
At the same time the information on execution of one of South-Korean pilgrims has proved to be true. His body was revealed the Afghani police. According to the representative of talibs Yousuf Ahmadi, the decision on murder was accepted in connection with the fact that negotiations between the Afghani authorities and “Taliban” have been deadlocked.
According to his words the similar destiny may happen to other hostages if the administration of Kabul will not release talibs from prisons. As Yousuf Ahmadi has declared, in case of default of their terms execution will take place in the night from Wednesday to Thursday.
Let’s remind, that in the end of the last week, on July, 18th, representatives of talibs have informed on capture in hostages of 23 Christian missionaries from South Korea, 15 of which - are women. In exchange of their release insurgents have required to withdraw South-Korean military contingent (about 300 militaries) from Afghanistan and to release representatives of their movement from prisons. The initial ultimatum expired in the evening on July, 24th; however, it has been prolonged.
