Taliban captives 'well looked after' in Afghanistan's Logar
A group of foreigners abducted on Monday by militants in eastern Afghanistan are being "well looked after", officials and the Taliban say.
Up to 11 people, thought to include eight Turks, two Russians and an Afghan were taken in Logar province after their helicopter landed in bad weather.
Tribal elders who saw the captives said that they were being fed and looked after, local officials told the BBC.
The Taliban also told the BBC the captives were in good condition.
