Two Swiss tourists recovered in Pakistan on Thursday after a more than eight-month kidnapping ordeal told officials that they had escaped their Taliban captors, the army said."They told us that they escaped and then they reported to our checkpost. That's what they told intelligence agencies currently debriefing them in Peshawar," spokesman Major General Athar Abbas told AFP.
