KABUL (Pajhwok): Relatives of kidnapped Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers staged a protest on Wednesday, demanding their immediate release and warning of self-immolation if their demands were not met.
Three months earlier, the Taliban took 12 soldiers hostage after their helicopter made an emergency landing in the Ghar Tapa locality of the Pashtunkot district of Faryab province. The pilot and six security officials were killed on the spot.
A dozen soldiers are still in Taliban’s captivity . . .
