Lebanon arrests suspect in Estonian kidnapping

Lebanese army intelligence arrested on Thursday a Lebanese man linked to the 2011 Estonian kidnapping, according to Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA). NNA reported that Mohammed Toufic Hujairi confessed to providing shelter and food to the kidnappers and their captives in exchange for money. He also confessed to helping one of the abductors escape Lebanon through providing him with a fake passport. The suspect was arrested with some drugs in his possession. Investigations are underway in order to arrest the rest of those involved in the kidnapping. The seven Estonian cyclists were kidnapped in Lebanon in March 2011 as they entered the country from Syria.
