Taliban free last three Koreans-Reuters witnesses

GHAZNI, Afghanistan, Aug 30 (Reuters) Afghanistan's Taliban movement freed three remaining South Korean hostages today as part of a deal with the Seoul government, Reuters witnesses said.

Like the previous 16 captives freed since Wednesday, the two women and a man were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross in Ghazni province, from where the Taliban seized 23 South Koreans on July 19.
