Taliban detains journalists working with UN in Afghanistan

The Taliban has detained journalists working for the United Nations in Afghanistan.

"Two journalists on assignment with UNHCR and Afghan nationals working with them have been detained in Kabul. We are doing our utmost to resolve the situation, in coordination with others," the U.N. Refugee Agency tweeted on Friday.

"Several foreign nationals" were charged with working for Western intelligence agencies and arrested, a Taliban intelligence member told The Washington Post.

Further details from either side were not given in a country that has been shrouded with human rights accusations since the takeover of the Taliban.
