A Canadian national is missing in Afghanistan, Canadian officials have said.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for the department of foreign affairs in Ottawa said the man – named as Colin Rutherford – had travelled to Afghanistan as a tourist.<\/p>\n

The confirmation followed a statement by the Taliban saying they had captured someone from Canada. <\/p>\n

The Taliban said they had detained the man in Ghazni province, south-west of the capital Kabul, for spying. <\/p>\n

A spokesman said he was still being held and that “documents in his possession revealed his clandestine intelligence activities”. The statement said the Taliban would soon release a video of him.<\/p>\n

Two French television journalists were kidnapped by the Taliban north-east of Kabul more than a year ago and are still being held. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
