A Qatari Foreign Ministry statement on June 15 said the four had been released for "humanitarian reasons."

Dushanbe has yet to comment on the reported release. 

The border guards were captured by Taliban militants in northern Afghanistan, not far from the border with Tajikistan, last December.

They were caught apparently gathering firewood.
