Sources in the Afghan government say that France and Australia are unhappy with the release of a number of 400 Taliban prisoners expected to be released from government custody.

According to the sources who spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity, six of the prisoners are former service members of the Afghan army who defected to Taliban after killing French and Australian soldiers.

They were arrested and are now in held by the government.

The ‘green on blue’ attacks in which foreign soldiers were the victims were mostly carried out by Taliban’s infiltrators in the Afghan army and police.
