Militant group frees 3 hostages in exchange for at least 11 prisoners. FMTNews

KABUL: The Taliban has released three kidnapped engineers from India in exchange for 11 members of the militant group who were held in an Afghan prison, a senior Afghan government source said on Monday.

None of the Taliban prisoners who were released were senior commanders, said the government source, who was not authorised to speak publicly. He said the deal was not related to recent Taliban meetings in Islamabad. Some 150 Indian engineers and technical experts were working across Afghanistan on large infrastructure projects at the time of the kidnapping.
