إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Two Syrian teenagers were kidnapped from their home in the area of Karak near the eastern city of Zahle at dawn Monday, their mother claimed.

Jumana Izzeddine, a Syrian national, told security forces that several armed men broke into her house and kidnapped her sons Baraa, 16 and 14-year-old Ali.

According to Voice of Lebanon radio station (93.3), she also told the police that the kidnappers robbed her of $30,000 and 1 million Syrian liras in cash.

Zahle police have launched an investigation into the incident.

Later in the day, the Lebanese army carried out raids in the Bekaa town of Brital after the mother received a phone call from a Syrian mobile number asking for a 3-million-dollar ransom.

Who the hell keeps 30000 dollars in their home. People kill for way much less. She could have hired an assassin to kill Assad for that much money.

It's probably ashraf elness at work again. Our little country deserves much better than this.

Wow dude, you are something else. Whether I live abroad or not, I am Lebanese and have a right to my opinion here. Or other people's opinions do not matter to ashraf el ness?

wait this can't be true. the government says that no such kidnappings occur in lebanon. hmmm from past incidents it is very clear that the shiaa are the ones who are committing such crimes and they usually get away with it..

Naharnet NEVER wrote about the disappearance and killing of 1000 Syrian Nationals in Lebanon between 2005 and 2011 by ANTI Syrian racist Fascist M14 criminals. Now, they are writing about Syrians being robbed (if they ever print this, it will be 12 hours later)

Sweet comment JFK... yes a few syrians got beat up by Lebanese, and maybe there have been a few dead (I'm not even sure about that), but in any case, how can you compare this to years of occupation, hudreds of executions, hundreds of tortured (Beau Rivage amongst other), humiliation, theft of Billions, jailed Lebanese,rapes, destruction and terror they inflicted on us...who wrote about that??..."Syrian racist facist"... you must be out of your mind...
