Seven Estonians have been kidnapped by gunmen in the Lebanese town of Zahle in the east. According to the sources cited by security forces, a group of individuals with their faces covered driving a black Mercedes car and two white vans arrived at the scene of the kidnapping and arrested seven citizens who apparently spent on this bike town in the Bekaa Valley.
Although early reports did think that among the hostages were Ukrainians, the consul of Estonia, Sami Kamouh, has reported that the seven cyclists have a passport from their country. "The general security of Zahle has called me and told me they have found roles of Estonian citizens," harelatado Kamouh to.
Other versions are added to the scene of the kidnapping have been found all bikes. Cyclists may have arrived in Lebanon by the passage of Masnaa, through the Syrian border, a neighbor located further east. The Bekaa Valley, where the party-militia Hezbollah maintains a strong presence and influence, is situated in the east of the country, about 30 kilometers from the capital, Beirut.
In the north of the valley lies the city of Baalbeck, one of the attractions of the country of the cedars for its Roman ruins. Last year, two Polish tourists were kidnapped for a short period of time in the Bekaa. The shooting of the security forces against their captors in a check point allowed his release.
The persistent instability in Lebanon has gone a step further if possible since the departure in January of opposition ministers in the coalition that led the Sunni Saad Hariri and the choice of Nagib Mikati, candidate of Hezbollah, Shiite Islamist group that the European Union and the United States considers terrorist.
