A teenager was still being held
hostage by his kidnappers on Saturday, three days after they abducted him from
his father’s ranch in the Baalbek district, asking for a $150,000 ransom.
The National News Agency reported
Friday that the three-member gang kidnapped 16-year-old Ziad Khaled Abou Esber
from the cow ranch that lies in Adous valley on Wednesday night.
The father said the abductors asked
him for a $150,000 ransom although he is suffering from financial problems
since last year when a snowstorm badly damaged his farm.
Baalbek families have been visiting
Abou Esber’s home to condemn the abduction as contrary to the values of
residents in the area, said the NNA.
The families on Friday asked
security forces and political parties to intensify their efforts to release the
teen, the agency added.
