125 jihadis of the now-banned Tanzim Nifaz Shariat-i-Mohammadi (TNSM) arrived home after being released from prisons in Afghanistan. The activists were part of the thousands of other TNSM volunteers who had gone to Afghanistan led by their now-detained amer Maulana Sufi Muhammad in November. Hundreds have returned since the fall of the Taliban and thousands others are still unaccounted for, or are in prisons in Afghanistan. One of the activists said that at least 12,000 of the formr TNSM volunteers had been arrested in Kandahar, Kunduz and Kabul.
