At least seven foreign tourists - including a number of Britons - have been wounded in Afghanistan, after Taliban insurgents attacked a group of holidaymakers.
Twelve travellers were attacked by the militant gunmen as their convoy made its way through Herat province in the west of the country, Afghan government officials said.
Eight British tourists were among the group, though it is unclear how many of them suffered injuries.
Three Americans and one German tourist are also said to have been travelling in the convoy, which was ambushed in the district of Chesht-e-Sharif.

Okayyyyy...
Makes as much sense as a holiday in Cambodia.
Tourism in Afghanistan is a special kind of stupid
They couldn’t get a hotel in Libya or Syria?
Or a gourmet tour of Somalia
Wait!
Afghanistan is a hotspot for tourist?
Who knew?
COEXIST!
Brace yourself, my dear
How about hiking in Iran?
Where people dress in black, it’s a holiday in Cambodia, where you’ll kiss ass or crack!!!!
or windsurfing in NORTH KOREA !
or upscale shopping in Venezuela !
I guess all our comments will be the same on this one. Who in the devil plans/takes a vacation in Afghanistan?
Hey - if we offered it “free” to the parasites in this country, do you suppose they’d take us up on it?
Whoopie - a free vacation - where’s Afghanistan?
GMTA. There was a scene in “The Killing Fields (1984),” of two US Embassy Cambodia (Phnom Penh) employees going through mail and one letter is from two Americans wanting to know where the good tourist locations were. This movie was set in 1975 when the Khmer Rouge were literally at the gates.
Some people live in their own special bubbles.
Maybe they were looking at a timeshare.
