Taliban admits kidnapping Swiss couple
 The Taliban says it carried out the kidnapping of two young Swiss tourists in a volatile southwestern Pakistani province four days ago. A spokesman for the militant group has been quoted as saying that the Swiss have been moved from Balochistan to the neighbouring Taliban heartland of South Waziristan near the Afghan border. The couple, who were travelling across Pakistan in a camper van, were abducted by gunmen on Friday. They were driving an RV across Pakistan? The Taliban spokesman said on Tuesday that the kidnappers would soon be making their demands, which could include a ransom or exchange of prisoners. Pakistani officials have not confirmed the information. They said that they were working on the case but that there were no clues so far as to where the Swiss might be.
