Saleem Shahzad was kidnapped earlier by Taliban militants in Afghanistan during his reporting.

In November 2006 Shahzad, who has worked for AKI since 2004, was kidnapped by Taliban militants in Afghanistan’s Helmand province, where he was reporting.
Six days later, he contacted his wife to tell her that he and another Pakistani journalist, Qamar Yousafzai, were being held hostage by militants led by Taliban commander Matiullah.
The two reporters were subsequently** ‘tried’ by the militants as suspected spies and released after they admitted wrongdoing**.

Thats confusing, Taliban released journalists after they admitted of “wrongdoing”?
