BEIRUT — Armed men wearing masks kidnapped seven Estonians who were cycling in eastern Lebanon on Wednesday, bundling them into two vans and driving away, a senior police official said Wednesday.
The group, which entered the country from Syria, was abducted near the city of Zahle in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley.
Kidnappings are far less common now than during the country’s civil war, but the area where the group was kidnapped is known for lawlessness, drug trafficking and clan feuds.
