A British Youtuber and self-styled “danger tourist” is among three British men being held by the Taliban’s feared counter-intelligence unit in Kabul, it has emerged.

Miles Routledge, a 21-year-old from Birmingham who goes by ‘Lord Miles’, has over 140,000 followers on Twitter, where he brands himself as a person who will “go to the most dangerous places on Earth for fun.”

Two other Britons, charity medic Kevin Cornwell, 53, and a second unnamed man who manages a hotel in Kabul, are believed to have been held by Taliban secret police since January following a separate incident.

Mr Routledge was arrested on March 2, along with two Polish nationals named as Adrian Wojcik, 22, and Roman Bilski, 24, and is being held for further questioning, a senior European diplomatic source told The Telegraph.

A Taliban security officer confirmed the arrest of multiple foreigners last week to the Telegraph.

The official added that the group were found partaking in “suspicious activities” and were being held with the Taliban’s counter intelligence department in Kabul.

It is not the first time that Mr Routledge has visited Afghanistan. Last August, the blogger received widespread criticism for visiting Kabul during the Taliban’s ongoing takeover of Afghanistan.

He acquired a spot on a British Army evacuation flight to Dubai while thousands of Afghans who had worked alongside British troops in the country were left behind where they face ongoing targeting by the Taliban.

it is unclear why Mr Routledge, who studied physics at Loughborough university, again travelled to Afghanistan but it is believed he intended to shoot footage for his social media accounts.

Last August, Mr Routledge posted a video of him meeting with an alleged Taliban gunrunner in the city of Jalalabad after boasting of entering Afghanistan on a forged document. The video has over one million views on YouTube.

In the same footage, Mr Routledge is seen firing several automatic weapons with a Taliban fighter and a member of a local mafia, which he describes as “a lot of fun”.

hopefully, he wont get seriously hurt "for fun"...

He's Caucasian and his country happens to be one of the most powerful, he gonna be out soon, the same taliban who are looking for international recognition, lol.

E wan take Taliban get followers? Den go roast you live

When you have enough to eat and have very little problems, you'll spend your short life looking for problems. I see the Taliban keeping them for over 10 years, I see them getting married to illiterate Afgan Virgins, I see them becoming Muslims.

This I have seen.

It's better to die for something than to die for nothing.


Kudos to dangerous YouTuber.

Talibans practice Religion of Peace so nothing will happen to him.

One day monkey go go market but e no go return..

This status is not about monkeys

Lmfao. They capture the guy like pokemon

I hope he gets out unscathed sha..

I pray for whoever that emerges as president to succeed in all round, because that's the primary goal.

But If Tinubu fails to perform in his first tenure like Buhari, will you vote for him in next election ?

If you will vote for him, click like, if you won't vote anybody at all click share.

This is for people that supported Tinubu, Atikulators and obidients stay low.

Adventure continues

If you ask him now he will say he's having fun.

They won’t kill him. Al Queda is trying to portray itself as a humanitarian pseudo government. ISIS may have killed him, I doubt that too. He isn’t a soldier or similar personnel linked to western defence forces. They may use him as a bargaining chip.
