Negotiations over the release of the 11 kidnapped Lebanese
pilgrims have achieved “great progress”, reported the daily An Nahar on
Saturday.
Hizbullah circles told the daily that there are “very positive
signs that they may be released within 48 hours.”
They added that the captives are doing well and that should they
be released they would be transported through former Prime Minister Saad
Hariri’s private jet.
The pilgrims were kidnapped in the Syrian city of Aleppo on May 22
as they were making their way back to Lebanon by land from a pilgrimage to
Iran.
Their location remains unknown amid conflicting reports that they
had entered Turkish territory.
No side has so far claimed responsibility for their abduction, but
various sides had been accused of being behind the incident, including the Free
Syrian Army, which has denied any involvement in the case.
