Hostages' Relatives Laud Extension

Families of 23 Korean hostages in Afghanistan are regaining their composure following the news that the Taliban has extended the deadline for its demands by 24 hours.

A relative of one of the hostages, Cha Sung-min, told reporters Sunday that the families of the hostages are relieved a bit from the deadline extension.

He also said the Foreign Ministry told the hostages' families Saturday that all 23 are all safe, adding the families returned home to rest.
