LBC television channel
reported on Monday that the Moqdad clan in Beirut released Syrian national
Mohammad Adel al-Suleiman Mohammad after he had been abducted by the family’s
“military wing” on Friday.
The report added that the
family’s spokesperson, Maher al-Moqdad, said that the hostage was freed as a
sign of goodwill “on the occasion of the Eid al-Fitr holiday” – the end of the
holy month of Ramadan.
Last week, members of the
Moqdad Lebanese family said that its “military wing” abducted “more than 20 Free Syrian Army members” and a Turkish national.
The kidnapping followed the abduction of Hassan al-Moqdad in Syria. Moqdad’s kidnappers identified the abductee as a Hezbollah member, a statement denied by the Shiite party.

Following his release,
Mohammad called on the Lebanese government “to intervene in order to resolve
this issue if it wishes to preserve stability [in the country].”
He also called on the abductors of Hassan al-Moqdad to heed “the demands
of his distraught father.”http://www.nowlebanon.com/NewsArticleDetails.aspx?ID=429226#
