Nearly 60 suspected Taliban arrested in Pakistan and handed to Afghanistan were actually ordinary citizens and they have been released, a governor said Friday. However most of a second group of 33 men extradited to Afghanistan Thursday did appear to have links with the Taliban militia that is fighting the government, Kandahar provincial governor Asadullah Khalid said. "We interrogated them after they were handed over to us last week," Khalid said. "Not even a single one of them is Taliban," he told a news conference. The men were just ordinary refugees living in Quetta, he said. |
