Four more hostages have been freed, and the release if the remaining three is said to be "imminent". According to Guardian Unlimited,
JANDA, Afghanistan (AP) - Taliban militants freed four more South Korean hostages in central Afghanistan on Thursday, witnesses said, and the release of the three remaining captives was believed to be imminent.
The two men and two women were handed over to officials from the International Committee of the Red Cross on a road in the Janda area of central Afghanistan, an Associated Press reporter at the scene said.
Reto Stocker, the head of the ICRC delegation to Afghanistan, said representatives were on their way to pick up the three remaining captives from an agreed location elsewhere.
However, lest we remain too upbeat, there are still more hostages besides these:
A German engineer and four Afghan colleagues kidnapped a day before the South Koreans are still being held.Here's praying these come home safe as well.
