“Seoul said to have ransomed hostages”
REUTERS NEWS AGENCY
September 2, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Kim Man-bok, the head of South Korea’s lead spy agency, denied at the airport ceremony that the government had paid a ransom, but the senior Taliban leader disagreed.
“We got more than $20 million from [the Seoul government],” the commander said on the condition of anonymity. “With it, we will purchase arms, get our communication network renewed and buy vehicles for carrying out more suicide attacks.””

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “However, Qari Mohammed Yousuf, a Taliban spokesman, later said no ransom was paid, explaining it would discredit the group. There was no explanation for the discrepancy.”
