The Daily Star - Man kidnapped in Beirut for $50,000 ransom, June 13 2012


BEIRUT: Unidentified kidnappers abducted a Lebanese man Tuesday morning in the southern suburbs of Beirut and demanded $50,000 for his release, a security source said Wednesday.
Relatives of Zaher Ghaleb Ramadan filed a police report Wednesday saying that the man went missing Tuesday after leaving his house in the Laylaki neighborhood in his BMW X5.
Hours later, one of his relatives received a text message on his mobile phone demanding $50,000 for the return of Ramadan and a note that kidnappers would send another message to specify the location of the drop-off.
“Zaher is with us and we took the X5. 50,000 dollars are needed to release him,” the message read.
Judicial authorities have instructed Internal Security Forces to locate Ramadan; the ISF has begun searching for him.
