كشف الأستونيون المخطوفون الذين أطلق سراحهم صباح الأربعاء خلال الاستماع الى افاداتهم الجهة الخاطفة والاشخاص وانتماءاتهم ومعتقداتهم وتفكيرهم، وانطلاقا من الحفاظ على سرية التحقيق، لم يتم الاعلان عن أسماء الخاطفين.

وقداستمع قاضي التحقيق العسكري فادي صوان إلى افاداتهم التي بدأت عند الثانية والنصف من بعد الظهر.

ولم يتعرض المحررون الى أي تهديد عند اطلاق سراحهم، كما انهم لا يعلمون ما إذا كانت دولتهم دفعت فدية عنهم أم لا، ولكن من جهتهم لم يدفعوا أية فدية بحسب ما أفادت "الوكالة الوطنية للإعلام".

وقد افاد مسؤول امني وكالة فرانس برس صباحا انه تم الافراج عن الاستونيين الذين خطفوا في اذار الماضي بعيد دخولهم الى لبنان على دراجات هوائية قادمين من سوريا، و"انهم يبدون في صحة جيدة".

واوضح مصدر امني آخر ان "عملية الافراج تمت في بلدة سهل الطيبة في البقاع جنوب مدينة بعلبك"، من دون ان يذكر تفاصيل اضافية.

ونقل الاستونيون السبعة الى السفارة الفرنسية في بيروت.

وذكرت "المؤسسة اللبنانية للإرسال" أن الأستونيون أفادوا أنهم كانوا يتنقلون بين لبنان وسوريا والسيارات التي خرجت من السفارة الفرنسية إلى البقاع لم تكن تعلم إلى أين تذهب وكان سائقوها في اتصال دائم مع وزارة الخارجية الأستونية لتحديد وجهة سيرهم

واوضح المسؤول الامني لفرانس برس انهم خضعوا لفحوص طبية، مشيرا الى ان وزير الخارجية الاستوني اورماس بات سيصل لبنان خلال الساعات المقبلة للقائهم ومرافقتهم الى بلادهم.

وقال بات في بيان نشر على الموقع الرسمي لوزارة الخارجية الاستونية "المهم حاليا هو ان ينضم مواطنونا الى عائلاتهم في اقرب وقت"، مضيفا ان الافراج عنهم هو نتيجة "تعاون بين استونيا ولبنان وشركاء آخرين".

وكان بات اعلن في زيارة الى لبنان في 21 حزيران ان هناك خيوطا "اولية" في القضية "تم التوصل اليها، لكن لا يمكن مشاركة وسائل الاعلام بها بعد".

وتلقى رئيس الحكومة نجيب ميقاتي اتصالا من وزير خارجية استونيا قبل ظهر اليوم، بحسب ما ذكر بيان صادر عن المكتب الاعلامي لميقاتي، تم خلاله "الاتفاق على عقد اجتماع في السراي الحكومي فور وصول الوزير الاستوني الى لبنان قرابة العاشرة (19,00 ت غ) من ليل اليوم".

ولا توجد سفارة لاستونيا في لبنان. ومنذ حصول عملية الخطف في 23 آذار، لعبت فرنسا دورا كبيرا في الاتصالات التي جرت من اجل اطلاق السياح السبعة.

وعبر السفير الفرنسي في لبنان دوني بييتون في تصريح ادلى به الخميس بعد لقائه وزير الخارجية اللبناني عدنان منصور، عن "سروره مع الوزير للنهاية السعيدة" للقضية.

وقال "نحن سعداء بحصول عملية الافراج اخيرا. انها نتيجة جهود بذلتها استونيا ولبنان".

واشار الى ان استونيا طلبت من بلاده "كما دول اخرى شريكة وصديقة، منذ البداية، تقديم دعم دبلوماسي ولوجستي (...) ونحن سعيدون بالمساهمة في هذه النتيجة الايجابية"، من دون ان يوضح ماهية المساهمة وحجمها.

واكتفى ردا على اسئلة الصحافيين بالقول ان "الدعم كان دبلوماسيا وماديا"، مضيفا ان "دورنا كان دور مرافقة صديقة للدبلوماسية الاستونية".

ونفى وزير الداخلية اللبناني مروان شربل في حديث مع تلفزيون "المؤسسة اللبنانية للارسال"، علمه بما اذا كان الخاطفون طلبوا فدية مقابل الافراج عن الاستونيين.

وقال "على حد علمي، لم يطلبوا فدية مقابل الافراج"، مشيرا الى انه سيتم الاستماع الى ما لدى الاستونيين من معلومات عن عملية خطفهم في وقت لاحق اليوم.

وفي تالين، قال والد احد المخطوفين كاليف كاوسار في حديث الى موقع "دلفي" الالكتروني "كل الرجال بخير، هذا كل ما يمكنني قوله".

وخطف مسلحون الاستونيين على طريق المدينة الصناعية قرب زحلة في البقاع، بعد وقت قصير على وصولهم الى لبنان من سوريا، وفروا بهم الى جهة مجهولة.

والرجال السبعة هم كاليف كاوسار واندريه بوك وماديس بالوجا وجان جاغوماجي وبريت ريستيك واوغست تيلو ومارتن متسبالو.

وتبنت مجموعة غير معروفة تطلق على نفسها اسم "حركة النهضة والاصلاح" في رسالة بعثت بها الى موقع الكتروني لبناني عملية الخطف، ثم اعلنت في رسالة ثانية في السادس من نيسان انها ستطلب "فدية مالية" لقاء الرهائن.

وتلقت مواقع الكترونية شريطي فيديو ظهر فيهما المخطوفون السبعة خلال فترة خطفهم وهم يطالبون دولا اوروبية والسعودية قمساعدتهم. كما تلقى اقارب لهم في استونيا شريطا ثالثا لم يفصح عن مضمونه.

وتم التداول بسيناريوهات عدة حول عملية الخطف، بينها سيناريو تحدث عن احتمال نقلهم الى سوريا، لكن لم يتأكد اي من هذه المعلومات.

ونفذت القوى الامنية اللبنانية خلال الاشهر الماضية سلسلة عمليات دهم في منطقة البقاع بحثا عن المخطوفين واوقفت عددا من المشتبه بمشاركتهم في العملية.

وادعى مفوض الحكومة لدى المحكمة العسكرية في 26 نيسان على اربعة اشخاص في قضية الخطف، هم لبنانيان وآخران جنسيتهما قيد الدرس، واثنان من الاربعة موقوفان، بتهمة "الخطف بقوة السلاح واخفاء السبعة في مكان مجهول". وسبق ذلك ادعاء في التاسع من نيسان على 11 شخصا آخرين، بينهم اربعة فارين، في القضية نفسها.

If they uploaded the video, they could have been in Damacuss... who ever uploads a video is where it's being uploaded and the video could b a tape or uploaded from Dahye to Damascus and then from Damascus to the moon.

I say it's funny how journalists are stupid enough to relay such speculations, it's like saying a Tape was released in France for hostages in Pakistan and then say that hostages could be in Paris as if info, image and tape don't travel without their content... speculations lead to probable Syrian abductors because it was uploaded from Damascus!!!

So they were kidnapped on the boarder of Lebanon and Syria ....the kidnappers are the LF forces of course and definitely not Hezbollah!!!!! And this article did mention very little about the kidnappers or the abductors (nice cover up) because they are protected citizens.....

It's funny how stupid brownnoses fell compelled to profess Syrian innocence every step of the way. No wonder the Syrian regime found so many so called Lebanese to demonstrate on M8 2005 to say thank your Masters Assad for your wonderful long years of occupation and all the killings.

wow, that's very good news!

It's a disgrace to have all those militias and gangs operating with impunity in Lebanon.

It's time to have one government, one security system, and one army.

All other organizations should yield to the power of law represented by the government which is (indirectly) elected by the Lebanese people, and is accountable to the Lebanese people. Any other organization should be under the Lebanese law.

Does anyone else find it interesting that the release of the Estonians happened so soon after the formation of the government? is this supposed to show us how competent the government is and how much of a better job they are doing? or is all planned out to give them a little credit and boost their ratings? this is just a big ploy and it is well known if you live in Lebanon who kidnaps who on who's behalf, let us not act like idiots and pretend we don't know. On a lighter note i am glad they are finally free and can go back to their loved ones, i hope this "fad" we have in Lebanon can stop now.

It is shameful for Lebanon that this kidnapping took place in the first place.. I hope those responsible will be caught and locked up.

Amazing some are still arguing who might have kidnapped them...The price to pay for their realease was a commitment from Estonia to support Syria in the security council. It was negotiated and once it succeeded the were realeased

Apparently,the criminal Assad regime is still playing its filthy games in order to destabilize Lebanon (Arsonist/firefighter act), with the help of the Iranian criminal militia and street gang Hezb Ebola and its palestinian terrorist stooges. I couldn't agree more with those who pointed the finger at the Criminal Syrian regime and Hezbullah/Iran, this is obviously as stated by some on here aimed at discrediting the previous Government and boost the current criminal Hezbullah occupation government's rating. Can anyone say the diaper headed Iranian rat in the rat hole? It would be interresting to see who was behind that, ofcourse the criminal harbouring government of Mikati cannot be trusted to do that, unless Hezb Ebola and its Syrian and Iranian regime masters have managed to hatch a plot to steal a car and make it look like it was an LF member did it as they have been doing for the past 30 years. Just like what they did when they murdered Pierre Gemayel. JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED ..

The abductors, Movement of Renewal and Reform, sounds pretty much like Aoun's reform movement using Hizb's arms to take the country hostage of Assad & Ahmadinajad's policy. Don Quixote Bassil instead of demarcating borders with Syria to stop flow of arms to Hizbs and restore Lebanon's sovereignty, is running after the maritime gas fields like any pirate in front of a new loot. We know how Iran used its oild and gas resources to build more rockets and train more Basij to oppress freedom seekers while the economy near bankruptcy with 20% inflation rate and the middle class eradicated. Let us hope that Bassil will not sell Lebanon's gas resources to his pirate friends so he can build more castles in Batroun or buy more rockets from Ahmadinajad. Hizb-Aoun’s cabinet are the new pirates, corrupt to the bones, and can cause irreparable damage to our economy, freedom and sovereignty. Estonians have gained freedom but would Lebanon ever be free of these pirates?

Its Summer its the only season lebanon can make some money out of tourism.
Tell me who in the world that did hear the news will venture to take a vacation in lebanon? Who will profit from non tourism in lebanon? THE JEWS.
It is the mossad who are in Hizballah . whom else would dare kidnap any one in lebanon but them? It is as clear as water. it does not need a genious to figure it out. Israel is having a blast with tourism this summer . try to book a flight and see. Money talks and bs walks in lebanon. you can buy anyone if the price is right. They say they want to anaelate israel and they hate israel yet they are puppets for israel. Hizballah is israeli made . People are being fooled by the telvised speeches. every one in the lebanese gov is a traitor. and getting paid.
