SHAWAL: The Pakistani Taliban\'s No 2 commander says his group has custody of two kidnapped Swiss tourists, and that it will free them if the US releases an imprisoned female Pakistani scientist.
The Swiss pair were abducted in the southwest Baluchistan province earlier this month.
Taliban commander Waliur Rehman said his group ordered the kidnapping in order to gain freedom for Aafia Siddiqui, a US-educated mother of three who is serving 86 years in an American jail for trying to kill US officials in Afghanistan.
Rehman says the Swiss have not been tortured.
But he says that if Siddiqui is not freed, a Taliban court will decide the fate of the pair.
