| Afghanistan frees more Pakistani prisoners |
| 2004-07-19 |
| The Afghan government freed 65 suspected Pakistani militants on Monday, the latest group to be released after being caught fighting for the Taliban during the U.S.-led war in late 2001. Looking exhausted but relieved, the bearded prisoners were freed from the notorious Pul-i-Charki jail just outside Kabul. "I am happy that I am free now," said Hashmat Ali, following his release. "But I am upset about my other friends who are still in jail." Pakistani diplomats have welcomed the releases as a positive move towards improving relations between the two countries. One Pakistani diplomat in Kabul said he hoped the rest of the prisoners in Afghanistan would be released soon. |
