Taliban free 4 more South Korean hostages; 3 others still held

JANDA, Afghanistan (AP) - The Taliban have released four more South Korean hostages.
An Associated Press reporter witnessed the release of the two men and two woman earlier today.

The reporter says they were turned over to representatives of the International Red Cross on a road in the Janda area in central Afghanistan.

That leaves just three South Koreans still in the hands of the insurgents and all are expected to be freed shortly.
