In video interviews with a rebel-embedded commentator published by SITE Intelligence Group on Tuesday, Bimbachi and Moore detail how a bid to secure Bimbachi custody of her boys from a Lebanese court ended in kidnapping. “It was not supposed to be walking, driving, motorcycles, driving, vans, walking, motorcycles,” Moore told Bilad Abdul Kareem of On the Ground News. “It just kept going and going — all these safe houses … As soon as the walking started, I knew something wasn’t right, but we’re already in Syria. She says her estranged husband took the boys on a vacation to visit family in Lebanon in 2015 and never returned. Moore said he did not realize it at the time, but by the second day inside Syria they were prisoners.
