Rejected by the Taliban, three diplomats said they had to give up for now on their bid to see foreign relief workers, including two Americans, jailed for allegedly propagating Christianity in Afghanistan, a Muslim nation.

Foreign Ministry officials said they would escort the three men to the airport today to board a U.N. aircraft to return to Pakistan.
