介绍： Hello, I'm Daniel Yavoyaska with the BBC News. Two Western hostages held by Taliban militants for more than three years have been freed as part of a prisoner exchange agreed with the Afghan government. The release of an American Kevin King and an Australian came after the Taliban confirmed that three of its senior commanders had landed in Qatar. Shovi Shriffy in Kabul has this assessment. The swap includes Anas Haqqani, a leading figure and fundraiser in the Haqqani militant group and two other senior commanders. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has called this a tough but important decision. It really is indeed a good gesture from both sides and it's hoped that the immediate impact of this deal would be a reduction in violence and hopefully leading to resumption of peace talks, including the Taliban accepting the Afghan government to sit on the negotiation table with them face-to-face.
