Turkey issues travel alert as pilots abducted in Lebanon
Earlier in the day, a Turkish Airlines pilot and his assistant were kidnapped in an ambush on a bus in Lebanon's capital city of Beirut, reported Xinhua citing a security source.
Lebanese media said that a group claimed responsibility for the abduction, demanding to release nine Lebanese Shi'ite Muslims who were kidnapped near the Turkish-Syrian border last year to swap the two Turks.
