Taliban soldiers freed by Pakistan

Pakistani officials on Wednesday said they had released some Taliban prisoners to support Afghanistan’s reconciliation efforts.

The “positive gesture” came amid meetings between Kabul’s peace negotiator Salaluddin Rabbani and Pakistani authorities in Islamabad.

“A group of Afghan Taliban has been released and they are accessible to anyone who wants to contact them,” a Foreign Ministry official privy to the talks said.
