A protester participates in a candlelight vigil near the U.S. embassy in Seoul August 10, 2007, to demand the United States negotiate with Taliban insurgents for the safe return of the 21 Koreans kidnapped in Afghanistan. The Taliban were set on Friday to hold their first face-to-face talks with a South Korean team over the 21 hostages the group is holding, a Taliban spokesman said.
