Now Lebanon - Estonian FM sends letter of appreciation to Rifi - August 10, 2011


Internal Security Forces (ISF) Director General Achraf Rifi received on Wednesday a letter of appreciation from the Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet voicing the latter’s gratitude for the help the ISF offered in releasing the seven Estonians kidnapped in Lebanon in March.
“I would like to thank you in person for the help we received during the four months of the Estonians’ abduction that helped lead to [their release],” the Estonian FM added.
Paet also asked Rifi in the letter “to convey the former's gratitude to every ISF employee, because had it not been for their help, [the release] of the Estonians would not have happened.”
Seven Estonian men have been freed in the Lebanon town of Arsal in the eastern Bekaa Valley in July, after being kidnapped for nearly four months.
The men were kidnapped on March 23 while on a cycling holiday in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, after arriving from neighboring Syria.
