A Czech delegation leaves for Beirut on Tuesday night to try to gain more information on the case of the five Czechs who went missing in Lebanon in mid-July, the spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry has told the Czech News Agency, adding that the delegation should return on Wednesday night. The delegation will include Deputy Foreign Minister Jakub Kulhánek and the head of the anti-organized crime squad Robert Šlachta. The Czech delegation will, among other things, try to establish close cooperation with local investigators and share information that the Czech side has assembled on the case.
