"Afghan Militants Want to Trade Prisoner"


Sunday, November 07, 2004

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "KABUL, Afghanistan  — Militants threatening to kill three kidnapped U.N. workers said Sunday they handed over a list of 26 prisoners, some possibly held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay (search), who they would take in exchange for the hostages.


A purported spokesman for the Taliban (search) splinter group claiming to hold the three foreigners also said it might drop its other demands, which include a U.N. withdrawal from Afghanistan."
