Korea Blocked Rescue Operations to Free Hostages
| Quote: |
South Korean officials have twice blocked rescue missions to free 21 of their countrymen held by Taliban rebels, reported the Times on August 13.
According to the Times, on one occasion Afghan and U.S. troops identified the places where the hostages were being held and were mobilized and ready to storm the Taliban positions. Separately, Afghan secret police were ready to arrest the families of the Taliban commanders involved as a way of applying pressure. But Korean officials vetoed the plans over fears that they would cause more bloodshed.
Afghan officials in Ghazni have little sympathy for the hostages. Many believe that they were in Afghanistan to preach Christianity. |
