Two Arrested for Kidnapping Lebanese-Iraqi in Mansourieh

Two people were arrested on Tuesday for their involvement in the kidnapping of Lebanese-Iraqi Wafer Bahnam in October, announced the National News Agency.

One of the arrested suspects, M.S., confessed that three other people were involved in kidnapping Bahnam from his Mansourieh residence.

The suspect said that he worked at the same site as Bahnam, adding that he, along with two other Lebanese, and a Syrian national, plotted the kidnapping.

He informed them of the location of the victim's residence.

Two days later, three of the assailants, dressed in Internal Security Forces uniforms, kidnapped Bahnam from his home and fled with him to an unknown location.

Two of the suspects were also involved in the kidnapping of an Iraqi national, also in Mansourieh, on April 16.

Investigations are underway to arrest of all the suspects involved in the abductions.
