The Dutch foreign ministry has confirmed that gunmen have seized a Dutch aid worker and his Afghan driver in the north of Afghanistan, the Telegraaf reports on Monday afternoon.

The Dutch embassy in Kabul is in touch with the Afghan authorities to give support where it can, the paper says.
A spokesman refused to give any more details about the man or his employer until his family have been informed.
Earlier AP said the governor of Takhar province, Abdul Jabar Taqwa, says witnesses told him four gunmen took the two aid workers out of their car and drove off in a westerly direction.
The two were working with an aid group helping disabled people, AP said.
