'Danger tourist' Miles Routledge (L) and Kevin Cornwell (R)
Three British men are being held in Taliban custody in Afghanistan, including so-called "danger tourist" Miles Routledge, British media reported on Saturday.

The other two men are charity medic Kevin Cornwell and another unidentified UK national who manages a hotel in Kabul, the report said.

"We are working hard to secure consular contact with British nationals detained in Afghanistan and we are supporting families," a spokesperson for Britain's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) told reporters in a statement, but did not confirm the details of the British nationals.
