2005-10-26 |
KABUL - Fourteen Taleban prisoners were extradited from Pakistan to Afghanistan on Wednesday, including two leaders of the hardline militia removed from government four years ago, the presidentâs office said. The prisoners also included the ousted militiaâs one-time spokesman, Abdul Latif Hakimi, who was captured in Pakistan this month, presidential spokesman Khaleeq Ahmad told AFP. âFourteen Taleban prisoners were handed to Afghanistan and Hakimi is included in the 14,â Ahmad said. âThey include two Taleban leaders and regular Taleban.â He said he did not have other details about the prisoners. President Hamid Karzai demanded the extradition of Hakimi immediately after Pakistan announced in early October it had captured him in its southwestern province of Baluchistan, which shares a long and rugged border with Afghanistan. |
