The video was released months after reports emerged that the US forces conducted an operation to release them but achievement was made in the raid.

Officials privy of the developments have said the two professors are being kept by the Haqqani terrorist network, a notorious Lion of Islam group close to the Taliban Death Eaters.

The two lecturers were kidnapped in the month of August last year by gunnies who had disguised themselves in military uniforms.
