60 Minutes crew mobbed at airport
The 60 Minutes team who were detained in Lebanon on child kidnapping charges have arrived in Sydney to a media throng.
Reporter Tara Brown, producer Stephen Rice, cameraman Ben Williamson and sound recordist David Ballment were mobbed by reporters and camera operators when they emerged into a public waiting area at Sydney Airport about 11pm.
"I'm just glad to be home," Brown told reporters.
The group was quickly escorted to two vans waiting outside and whisked away.
The crew's flight from Dubai touched down in Sydney about 10pm.
The 60 Minutes team emerged about an hour later.
They spent two weeks in a Beirut prison with Brisbane mother Sally Faulkner after the botched abduction of Ms Faulkner's two children.
The 60 Minutes crew and Ms Faulkner were released on bail on Wednesday after the children's father Ali Elamine agreed to drop kidnapping and assault charges.
Sound recordist Ballment said he was looking forward to "a shower and seeing my wife".
