Aussie leaves Beirut after botched abduction

A former Australian soldier involved in the botched 60 Minutes child abduction in Beirut has been reunited with his family in Sweden.

Adam Whittington was photographed at an airport in Stockholm hugging his wife Karin according to a post on a Facebook page dedicated to supporting him last night.

"Home at last! It's what we've all been fighting for and it's now a reality," family friend Susan Brown posted on the Support Adam Whittington page.

Earlier the group posted photos of him leaving Beirut apart with his lawyer Joe Karam.

"Yes you're not seeing things Adam is now out of ... Lebanon and on his way home to Karin and the boys as we speak," Brown said in an earlier post last night.

Whittington was granted bail last week and when his travel ban was lifted, Karam released a statement saying "The truth is coming very soon".

He and two of his colleagues were charged with kidnapping after Brisbane mum Sally Faulkner's two young children Lahela and Noah were snatched from a Beirut street in April this year while being filmed by a Nine 60 Minutes crew.

Faulkner has said she her estranged husband Ali Elamine took their children to Lebanon on a holiday in May last year but never returned.

Reporter Tara Brown return to 60 Minutes last night, three-and-a-half months after she was released from a Beirut jail over her involvement in the story.
