A Lebanese citizen kidnapped on Thursday by masked gunmen on the Ablah road in the Bekaa was released in unknown circumstances, media reports said.

Antoine Daher al-Kaadi was reportedly in the custody of the army intelligence that will hand him over to his family after he gives his testimony.

The reasons behind the abduction remain unknown.

Masked armed men abducted at dawn al-Kaadi on the Ablah road.

According to the state-run National News Agency, unknown assailants in a brown Mercedes forced al-Kaadi out of his Mercedes vehicle, which carries a license plate with the number 5002.

The abductors fled with al-Kaadi to unknown whereabouts.

Lebanon had witnessed a wave of kidnap-for-ransom along with sectarian abductions caused by the war in Syria have also taken place.
