Afghan Christian to be released

Fox News and other agencies are reporting that charges against Abdul Rahman have been dropped.
Fox reports that charges were dropped because Rahman was mentally unfit to stand trial.
It's unknown as to when Rahman will be released.

Edit:
One official said freedom might come as soon as Monday for Rahman, who became a Christian in the 1990s while working for an aid group in neighboring Pakistan.
Muslim extremists, who have demanded death for Rahman as an apostate for rejecting Islam, warned the decision would touch off protests across this religiously conservative country. Some clerics previously vowed to incite Afghans to kill Rahman if he was let go.
His life doesn't look to be much easier if he's released in Afghanistan.
