British men held by Taliban 'in contact' with relatives, family spokesman says
Charity medic Kevin Cornwell, 53, and an unnamed UK national who manages a hotel in Kabul are believed to have been detained by secret police since January. A third Briton - so-called "danger tourist" Miles Routledge, 23 - is also being held in Taliban custody.
'We're very pleased to announce that there has been contact between families and the detainees,' says the spokesperson for the family of Kevin Cornwell.
