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.

We went to Thailand on a tour last year and then spent five days in Cambodia.We toured Angkor Wat with a lot of other tourists. One of the most interesting sights we’ve ever seen.
