BEIRUT: Model and Singer Myriam Klink, singer Jad Khalife and the producer of a controversial music video that featured the two were released after being questioned for six hours on Monday.

"Goal. That's all I'm going to say," Klink told reporters as she left Hobeich Police Station in Beirut.

"Klink became a case in this country although I didn't do anything," she said.

Police questioned Klink, Khalife and director Mahmoud Ramzi for more than six hours over her new controversial music video, which the justice minister has banned. The three were barred from leaving the country as investigations continue.

The questioning was prompted by the appearance of a little girl in the video.
