Two of three British men being held by Taliban allowed call with families
Two of the British men being held by the Taliban in Afghanistan have spoken to their families, a humanitarian group representing them has said.
Referring specifically to Mr Cornwell, it said: "The relief Kevin's family expressed after hearing his voice for the first time in three months, not knowing if he was well, brought a great sense of peace and gave them hope that this situation will be resolved soon." "We have taken several statements from witnesses who have seen the licence and affirm its existence," he said.
"Anyone travelling to dangerous parts of the world should take the utmost caution. If they are going to do that they should always act on the advice of the Foreign Office travel advice," she said.
