| [An Nahar] The army intelligence set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock on Tuesday a Lebanese national linked to the 2011 Estonian kidnapping, reported the National News Agency on Thursday. These were the beauzeaux who mistook them for Americans. Presumably because they were riding bikes. The Estonians, that is, not the kidnappers... It said that Mohammed Toufic Hujairi confessed to providing shelter and food to the kidnappers and their captives in exchange for money. Ahah. Filthy lucre. That explains it all. He also confessed to helping one of the abductors escape Leb through providing him with a fake passport. The suspect was nabbed 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 Leb in March 2011 as they entered the country from Syria. They were kidnapped in the eastern Bekaa and kept in captivity in Leb and Syria until July of that year. Wael Abbas, the suspected ringleader in the abduction, was jugged in November 2011. He was tossed in the calaboose by Syrian security forces as he was attempting to escape to the country through a false ID. "Sir? This ID is drawn in crayon on a grocery bag!" "Oh, yeah? Lemme see dat!... Book 'im, Danno!" "C'mon, youse!" In September, the Internal Security Forces killed two accomplices of the alleged criminal mastermind behind the kidnapping during festivities in the area of al-Bireh in Rashaya. Later that month, two Intelligence Branch officers were maimed when they were ambushed by gunnies in the hunt for the kidnappers in the village of Jlala near Shtaura. |

| #1 The Estonians were idiots, and even have admitted as much in interviews back home. To quote Lord of the Rings: "One does not simply bicycle through Syria and the Bekaa Valley". |
