A judicial source said the seven Estonians revealed during their testimonies before Military Investigative Judge Fadi Sawwan on Thursday the names of their abductors, An-Nahar newspaper reported on Friday.
The anonymous source also said that the Estonians were not threatened before being released, adding that the seven men know whether their country paid a ransom.

A police official in Lebanon told AFP they were released Thursday morning in the Bekaa Valley town of Sahel al-Taybi.
Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet arrived in Beirut on Thursday evening to accompany the released tourists home.
