SHIBERGHAN, Afghanistan: Taliban militants have set free 40 security personnel from their custody in northern Jawzjan province, an army spokesman in the northern region Abdul Hadi Jamal said Monday.

Jamal said a bunch of 40 security personnel, mostly policemen, had been released by the Taliban outfit and reached Jawzjan provincial capital Shiberghan on Sunday afternoon, Xinhua reported.

This was the second group of Afghan security personnel released in Jawzjan province over the past week. Earlier the militant group released 42 Afghan security personnel one week ago after capturing Qush Tepa district in the troubled Jawzjan province.
