Taliban militants threaten to kill more Korean hostages
The Taliban threatened to kill more of the remaining 21 South Korean captives today, while Afghanistan said it would not release insurgent prisoners – the militia’s key demand to ending the two-week long hostage crisis.
Human Rights Watch, the New York-based rights group, called for the immediate release of all remaining South Korean captives, and accused the Taliban of committing war crimes by taking and killing the hostages.
