Army Arrests Majzoub's Uncle
The Lebanese army intelligence in the Bekaa arrested the maternal uncle of debt-ridden Sheikh Mohammed al-Majzoub who has staged his own kidnapping allegedly in a desperate bid to secure a ransom and repay debts.
As Safir daily said Tuesday that Wissam al-Majzoub was taken to the army intelligence headquarters at the defense ministry in Yarze for more questioning.

Police arrested last month al-Majzoub, the sheikh of a mosque in the eastern town of Majdel Anjar, for plotting a fictional kidnapping.
