Contradicting reports have been emerging on Saturday over the fate of the Lebanese drivers kidnapped by Takfiri militants of Nusra Front on the Syrian-Jordanian border.

Nasib border crossing has been for days a scene for clashes between the Syrian Army and the terrorist militants.

Nusra Front militants proceeded to loot vehicles stranded on the Syrian side of the border after taking control of the Syrian side of the major southern crossing Wednesday night.

Lebanese media reported that the fate of three drivers was still unknown.
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s The Daily Star, quoted truckers’ union chief Naim Sawaya as saying that all of the Lebanese truck drivers bar one had been released.

However, Ahmad Alam, the mayor of Seer al-Dinnieh and owner of eight of the trucks that were prevented from crossing the border, told the daily Saturday that three of his drivers were still “out of reach.”

Takfiri militants kidnapped on Thursday around 10 truck drivers at the crossing, though the exact number remains to be confirmed.

The drivers were prevented from crossing into Jordan Tuesday night, after the Jordanian authorities closed their side of the border crossing, known as the Jaber border crossing.
