إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

National Ayman Rayed, who hails from the Bekaa town of Arsal, was released on Wednesday by his kidnappers due to the efforts exerted by the Lebanese army.

The state-run National News Agency reported that the army has erected checkpoints on main and side roads forcing the abductors to free Rayed.

Rayed was released in Sahel Shaet in north Bekaa.

The parents of Rayed denied paying a ransom in exchange for his release, Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) said.

Kidnappings for ransom have increased in recent months amid a fragile security situation in the country.

Well done Lebanese Armed Forces!
Long live the Lebanese army and to hell with all those who attack it, verbally or otherwise.

Kudos to the LAF.
I hope they arm the LAF and strengthen it and market it until it becomes stronger than HA and more loved amongst chiites than HA.

that guy is making sarcastic anti-shia propaganda. funny that my answer to him yesterday was censored!
i was only saying it was spam (he posted it like ten times), it was fake (trying to make shias sound bad) and it was lame, so it could only be al kafi's 139th account.
