Police Free Syrian from Abductors
Thirty nine-year-old Syrian national Mustapha Hassan Baylouni was freed on Thursday after being kidnapped by men from al-Ghazi family last week for ransom.
Al-Buqaia's police station in the North freed Baylouni from his abductors in cooperation with the residents of the area.
According to state-run National News Agency, the car carrying license plate number 136441/T that was used in the kidnapping scheme was seized.
Investigations are ongoing to detain the culprits.
Lebanon has been recently plagued by the kidnap-for-ransom phenomenon. The abductions are mostly targeting wealthy businessmen or their family members.
