BEIRUT (AP) — An Australian mother and TV crew detained in Beirut amid a botched attempt to take the woman's two children from their Lebanese father were released on bail Wednesday, in a dramatic climax to a high-profile child custody battle that has spanned two continents.
Ali al-Amin, the father of the two children, aged 3 and 5, announced he has dropped attempted kidnapping charges against his estranged Australian wife Sally Faulkner and the Channel 9 TV crew, because he "didn't want the kids to think I was keeping their mother in jail." Lawyers and the judge involved in the case would not comment about whether any compensation was involved. Faulkner and the four-person TV crew, led by prominent Australian TV journalist Tara Brown, left a jail in Baabda, a Beirut suburb, in a white van, escorted by an Australian Embassy car. Once inside the vehicle they embraced one another.
BBC News, A Lebanese man whose estranged Australian wife has been charged with attempting to kidnap their children has said he will not drop the charges.
The two children were allegedly snatched off a Beirut street earlier this month at their mother's behest. The operation was being filmed by four Australian journalists with Channel 9's 60 Minutes programme. The mother, Sally Faulkner, was soon arrested, as were the journalists, two British men and two Lebanese men. The children were returned to their father's custody.
The judge overseeing the case has warned that he views the "child recovery" operation as a criminal case. 'This is not a custody case' Ms Faulkner had said she had not seen the young children since her estranged husband, Ali al-Amin, took them from Australia to Beirut on holiday.
