An Australian television crew has been detained in Lebanon, their network said Thursday, with Canberra urgently trying to confirm the reporters' whereabouts, AFP reports.
The group were reportedly filming a private operation by a child recovery agency involving two young children from Australia who were in Lebanon with their father.
"We are urgently seeking to confirm the crew's whereabouts and welfare, and have offered all appropriate consular assistance," Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said in a statement.
