What happens if he skips bail, would they send Jack Walsh to bring him back with Alonzo Mosely of the FBI on their trail as hijinks ensue?

How can anyone release a kidnapped victim on bail? Surely there's something wrong with this article.

so these thugs got $350,000 as a reward for their criminal act....! Some of my acquaintances know the family.... a good hard working family... used to work in Saudi Arabia for years. They came back to Lebanon and built a house. The rumors are some of Mark's fellow students tipped the kidnappers that he came from a well to do family.... I hope it is not true.

This is a good reason to block roads. Nothing else matters this much.

Berri has to intervene. He certainly knows the shia thug who conducted the operation. He should do get him arrested.
