Hezbollah Leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has appealed for calm following the abduction of the Lebanese Shiites in Syria and former PM Saad Hariri condemned the abduction and called for their immediate release.
Meanwhile , Free Syrian Army’s Lieutenant Colonel Khaled Hamoud denied on Tuesday that the FSA kidnapped Lebanese Shiite men in Syria.
“We have nothing to do with the abduction of the 13 Lebanese men in Aleppo,” Hammoud told Future News television, adding that the Syrian regime was “responsible for the kidnapping.”
