KABUL, Afghanistan ? Eleven Afghan policemen kidnapped by militants nearly two weeks ago have been freed in northern Afghanistan.
The Afghan Defense Ministry says Afghan soldiers, border police and international troops rescued the policemen on Friday and arrested 25 opposition fighters.
The ministry said in a statement Saturday that when the militants ignored local elders' attempts to mediate the release of the captive policemen, the military intervened and rescued them. Authorities are still pursuing other militants suspected of being involved in the Dec. 5 kidnapping in Wardooj district of Badakhshan province.
Earlier, deputy provincial police chief Sayed Hussain Safawi said that two policemen were killed and four others were wounded in an ambush that preceded the kidnapping.
