#1 Maybe the "Hi! We're Spies!" t-shirts wasn't such a good idea.

There are more "couples" in Switzerland, who have obtained Swiss citizenship, yet spend all their time globe trotting as "tourists", with little or no visible means of support, uniquely to dangerous trouble spots. I think it is the motif of 2nd rate intelligence agencies.

#2 These two hostages are natural born ethnically Swiss from the Emmental region within the Canton of Berne. Both are trained police officers (source in German).

In all likelihood they're terminally naive and ignorant people who missed the news that taking the Hippie Trail became an act of suicidal madness about 30+ years ago.
