NNA - The abduction case of the two bishops, Youhana Ibrahim and Boulos Yazigi, is not connected to the kidnapping of the nine Lebanese in Aazaz, according to caretaker Minister of Interior, Marwan Charbel, who told NNA that efforts continue for their release.


Charbel did not disclose whether the Syrian female prisoners would be delivered via Beirut airport as the logistics of the operation were still unclear.


"I do not know if I will go to Turkey to collect the abductees," he added.
