A released South Korean hostage cries during a reunion with fellow hostages at a hotel in Kabul on Friday. Nineteen South Korean Christians freed by the Taliban had a tearful reunion at a secret location after six weeks in captivity, but Seoul came under fire for negotiating with the rebels. AFP

Newly freed South Korean church workers apologized on Friday for causing trouble by being kidnapped for six weeks by the Taliban. One said she kept a secret diary of her ordeal on the lining of her trousers.

Some of the 19 former captives fell to the ground in shock when they were told that two members of their group had been killed by their captors, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.
