Taliban militants on Wednesday released eight of 19 South Korean captives they promised to free under a deal struck with the South Korean Government to resolve the nearly six-week hostage crisis.
The insurgents have said they will free all the hostages, who they are holding in different locations, over the next few days.
The deal for their release was struck in face-to-face talks between Taliban negotiators and South Korean diplomats in the central Afghan city of Ghazni. The negotiations were facilitated by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
