Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Reuters is reporting that four Red Cross workers woh were on their way to help secure the release of hostages, were kidnapped themselves yesterday, and are being held by the Taliban.  The staff members of the Internation Committee of the Red Cross were captured southwest of Kabul, the Afghan capital.  But then Reuters goes on to say that a Taliban spokesman revealed today they did not know that they were Red Cross workers, and will be releasing them shortly.

"Our mujahideen detained the Red Cross workers in Wardak province without knowing they were ICRC," the Taliban spokesman, who chose to remain anonymous, said.  "We have nothing against the Red Cross and we are going to release them soon."

The Taliban has spokespeople?  Did you know this?!
