Briton Held In Helmand |
2007-03-06 |
The Taliban say they have captured a Briton and two Afghans in the southern Afghanistan province of Helmand. About 5,000 British troops are based in Helmand. First reports suggested the kidnapped group may be journalists. The region is linked to the country's lucrative drugs trade. The Foreign Office says it is "aware of the reports" that have been made by the Taliban to Pakistani media organisations. |
