Afghanistan has released 66 Pakistani prisoners who had been in jails since the US-led war toppled the hard-line Taleban regime in late 2001, officials said on Sunday.
The release came on Saturday following a decree issued by President Hamid Karzai, the president's office said in a statement. Pakistan also reciprocated by releasing 34 Afghans simultaneously, the statement added.
Afghanistan last week agreed to release 500-600 Pakistanis captured during the US-led war in the country.
