KABUL, July 21 (Reuters) - A Korean government team plans to visit Afghanistan for talks with the Taliban who are holding 23 of its nationals, a Korean embassy official said on Saturday, hours after a Taliban spokesman said the group had killed two German hostages.

The delegation is expected to arrive on Sunday and hold talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the Taliban to try to find an "understanding" to free the Korean Christians, the official told Reuters.
