S. Korean and Taliban Come to Terms

I've tried to keep up-to-date with the situation involving South Korean Missionaries snatched off a bus by Taliban Militia in Afghanistan. They've been held hostage for over a month. Two men have been killed and two women released. The latest development is that the South Korean government and Taliban negotiators have struck a deal. The hostages will be released soon.
South Korea has agreed to pull its troops out of Afghanistan and halt its missionary activities in the country as part of a deal to secure the release of 19 Christian missionaries who were kidnapped by the Taliban last month.

One thing I found interesting is that South Korea agreed to halt missionary activities. I wonder how they (S. Korea) will enforce that...
