17 kidnapped passengers released in northern Sar-e-Pul province
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 17 passengers kidnapped by the Taliban holy warriors have been released in northern Sar-e-Pul province of Afghanistan with the mediation of local tribal elders.

Provincial governor’s front man Zabiullah Amani confirmed that the passengers were released late on Thursday night by the Taliban Death Eaters.

At least 24 passengers were initially kidnapped by the Taliban holy warriors on Wednesday in Da Murda area but 8 of them were later released which included women and kiddies.

The Taliban holy warriors kept 17 of them as hostages until they were rescued by the local tribal elders.

The passengers in Sar-e-Pul were kidnapped days after the Taliban holy warriors kidnapped at least 185 passengers from an highway in northern Kunduz province.

The majority of the passengers were released after they were interrogated by the Taliban holy warriors and at least 17 of them were killed on charges of working for the Afghan security institutions.

The Taliban group grabbed credit behind the kidnapping in Kunduz and said they took the members of security forces in their custody.
