GHAZNI, Afghanistan (AFP) - A senior Afghan official said there had been no ransom paid for the release yesterday of two South Korean women held by the Taliban, and there would be none for the remaining 19 hostages.

Mirajuddin Pattan, the governor of Ghazni province where the hostages were freed, also demanded that the hardline Islamic militants unconditionally release the other hostages seized more than three weeks ago.

The Taliban has shot dead two of the group captured in Ghazni July 19.
