- At least six foreign tourists and their driver were wounded in Afghanistan on Thursday in an attack on their convoy by gunmen as it passed through western Herat province while coming from Bamiyan province, government officials said.
- The group of at least a dozen travelers included eight British citizens, three Americans, and one German, but the nationalities of the injured were not clear, said Jilani Farhad, a spokesman for Herat’s governor.
- Afghanistan remains locked in a violent insurgency and Western embassies typically warn their citizens against all travel in the country, citing threats of attack and kidnapping.
