ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani Taliban said on Wednesday they would not
kill two Chinese engineers and two Pakistanis they have been holding since
last week, but they would not release them unless unspecified demands were
met.

Two Chinese telecommunication engineers and a Pakistani driver and guard
were kidnapped near the Afghan border on Friday when they were returning to
a guest house after repairing a telecommunications tower.
