" 'He was handed over to us late last night ... Today, after a while, maybe after one or one-and-a-half hours, we will hand him over to the Chinese embassy,' [on Sunday (Aug 23) Pakistan's interior minister] Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told reporters. The Chinese man, who had been cycling through Pakistan, was abducted last May near the western city of Dera Ismail Khan.
"Khan gave few details about the Chinese man's recovery other than saying it was the result of an intelligence operation and the culmination of more than a year of effort by the Pakistani government.
