The final South Korean hostages were released today.
Interesting note in the news report…not the bolded section: (via Yahoo!)
JANDA, Afghanistan - Taliban militants on Thursday released the final seven South Korean captives they had been holding, bringing an end to a six-week hostage drama, witnesses said…
Under the terms of a deal reached Tuesday, South Korea reaffirmed a pledge it made before the hostage crisis began to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year. Seoul also said it would prevent South Korean Christian missionaries from working in the staunchly Muslim country, something it had already promised to do.
Interesting that both of the conditions were re-affirmations of previous commitments. It makes me wonder what else is going on…
