GHAZNI, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Taliban guerrillas freed four more South Korean hostages on Wednesday in Afghanistan, taking to 12 the number of the captives they have released as part of a deal with Seoul, witnesses said.

The group, driven in a vehicle of the International Committee of the Red Cross, included three women and a man, they said.

Before the latest release, a Taliban spokesman said he expected all of the hostages to be freed by Thursday.
