NNA - Deputy PM Samir Mokbel said Tuesday the two bishops earlier kidnapped in Syria are found in a safe place and enjoying good health, hoping that in the near future "we would hear positive news in this concern."
Mokbel visited today the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Yohanna X Yazigi at his residence in Balamand.
Mokbel said he contacted Caretaker Interior and Municipalities Minister Marwan Charbel during his visit to the Patriarch and told him to give the bishops case the utmost concern.
