Syria Hands General Security 3 Suspects in Estonians Case

Syrian authorities on Thursday handed over to the General Directorate of General Security three suspects allegedly involved in the 2011 abduction of seven Estonian nationals in Lebanon.

General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim earlier on Thursday informed President Michel Suleiman that the suspects would be handed over shortly.

Ibrahim, who met with Suleiman at the Baabda palace, said the step was the result of “coordination and exchange of information between the Lebanese General Security and the relevant Syrian authorities.”
