According to Australian diplomats based in Islamabad, judicial hearings against the two Australians, two Americans and four Germans «would definitely proceed» in Kabul.
The diplomats said their source was Taliban Foreign Ministry official Abdur Afghani.
The foreign Christians´ trial before Afghan Muslim clerics was suspended two weeks ago, after Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden was accused of masterminding the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.
Under the Taliban´s purist interpretation of Islamic law, any attempt to convert Muslims to another religion is a crime punishable by death.
