Beirut - A Lebanese website on Wednesday obtained video footage showing the seven Estonian tourists who were kidnapped in Lebanon on March 23 appealing for help.
The footage posted by the Lebanon Files news portal showed the seven appealing to outgoing premier Saad Hariri, Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz, Jordan's King Abdullah and French President Nicolas Sarkozy to help secure their release.
'Please do anything to help us get back home. Please make everything to return us to our families as soon as possible,' one the them is heard saying.
On March 31, a previously unknown group claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of the Estonians near the town of Zahle in the Bekaa Valley, shortly after crossing the border from Syria during a cycling holiday.
The group calling itself Haraket El Nahda Wal Islah (Movement of Renewal and Reforms) demanded a ransom in the claim sent via email to Lebanon Files.
