The Internal Security Forces issued a statement Monday that media reports identifying the kidnappers of the seven Estonians as Lebanese and Syrians “lack accuracy and objectivity.”
The statement added that investigations into the abduction are ongoing under the supervision of the relevant judicial authorities.
The ISF called on the media to verify the accuracy of its reports, adding that it will issue detailed statements on the issue once the investigation is over.
Seven Estonian citizens were kidnapped near the Bekaa city of Zahle on Wednesday after they had entered Lebanon from Syria on their bikes.
A top security official told AFP earlier on Tuesday that the abductors of the Estonians have been identified and a raid is underway to arrest them.
