It’s thought Grant, from Southern Engalnd had lived and worked in Afghanistan for several years, and returned in September just before the Taliban takeover. An FCDO spokesperson said: “We are aware of the detention of a British national in Afghanistan and have been in touch with their family to support them.” A source told the Daily Mirror: “We were quite surprised he went back to Kabul after the western withdrawal as the security situation there is obviously much worse. “Added to that the Taliban government is making it very difficult for the few ex-pats working there, making it very difficult to travel. “A lot of people are trying to get to the bottom of what has happened to him, where he is being held and under what charges.” An FCDO spokesperson said: “We are aware of the detention of a British national in Afghanistan and have been in touch with their family to support them.” Most read in News DOUBLE TRAGEDY Dad mauled to death by dog in front of his kids after wife died of cancer UP IN THE AIR Hopes PM could scrap 'circuit breaker' plan after positive omicron studies SECRET SANTA I wasn't invited to our work Xmas party - I'm the BOSS & caught staff on CCTV 'HE WAS PETRIFIED' 'Freezing' boy, 2, found in tears and 'completely alone' on street 'BRUTAL' Chilling CCTV shows murderer jogging before plunging pitchfork into victim’s head ROD LIDDLE Why shut down the entire country for a common cold?
