KABUL, July 21 (Reuters) - Afghanistan's Taliban will start killing 23 Korean Christian hostages if the group's demands are not met by Sunday 14:30 GMT, a spokesman for the Taliban said on Saturday.

Qari Mohammad Yousuf, who insisted the group had killed two German hostages on Saturday, said the Taliban would start to kill the Koreans if the Afghan government did not free Taliban prisoners and if South Korea did not pull its forces out of the country.
