Taliban refuse to allow medical team access to hostages
Afp, Ghazni
The Taliban yesterday refused to allow an Afghan medical team access to 21 South Koreans and said it would free two who are gravely ill only if the government released two imprisoned rebels. The team of doctors and nurses had volunteered to treat the captives, most of whom are said to be ill after more than two weeks in captivity, and travelled to southern Ghazni province where the aid workers were kidnapped. But the Taliban said it had refused to allow them access to the hostages.
