Lebanese Man Released in Arsal without Ransom
A Lebanese national, Mohammed Mahmoud al-Hujairi, was released on Saturday in the northeastern border town of Arsal without the payment of a ransom.
Al-Hujairi was kidnapped late Thursday and the abductors demanded a ransom worth $250,000 to free him, the state-run National News Agency said.
According to NNA, a group known as Abou el-Foz has coordinated efforts with another Islamic State group composed of Abou Bakr, Abou Abdul Salam and Ahmed Ammoun in Arsal to kidnap al-Hujairi aka Mohammed Khan.
The abductee used to work at a gas station that belongs to his father in the al-Manaqaa area in the town.
