BEIRUT: A man escaped the clutches
of three alleged kidnappers overnight in Beirut’s southern suburb of Burj
Barajneh, a security source said Wednesday.
The source, speaking to The Daily
Star on condition of anonymity, said Zainab Mohammad Assaf reported to police
that brothers Fadi, Ali and Hasan al-Qaafarani had kidnapped her husband Izzat
Ali al-Haj, 37.
Two hours later, Haj showed up at
the police station to report that he had managed to flee his kidnappers by
jumping out of the window of a car in which he was being transported and
running away.
Haj said his abductors' financial
problems were the motives behind the kidnapping.
But Haj, according to the sources,
escaped his captors only to be thrown in jail after it was discovered that he
is wanted on several felonies.
Separately, the sources said, a
police patrol from the Drug Control Office arrested drug dealer Mohammad Allaw
following a shootout with patrol members in Mreijeh, south Beirut.
His wife, Hanan Miqdad, who was in his company,
was also arrested, the sources added.http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Local-News/2012/Mar-14/166606-man-escapes-kidnappers-in-burj-barajneh.ashx#axzz1p511kN7d
