A wanted Lebanese man
was arrested on several charges on Wednesday after he alleged that he escaped
his abductors by jumping out of a speeding car, the National News Agency
reported.
NNA said the man’s wife
identified as Zeinab Mohammed Assaf, 22, told Burj al-Barajneh police in
Beirut’s southern suburbs that brothers Fadi, Ali and Hassan al-Qaafarani
kidnapped her 37-year-old husband Izzat Ali al-Hajj.
But a few hours later,
al-Hajj headed to the police station claiming that he jumped out of the car
that the brothers were using to kidnap him, NNA said.
To the security forces’
surprise, the victim turned out to be wanted on several charges.
Al-Hajj was jailed and
police issued notices on the three brothers to arrest them on charges of
forceful detention and attempted kidnapping.
In another incident,
police from the drug control bureau arrested drug dealer Mohammed Allaw
following an armed clash with the security forces patrol in the Mreijeh
neighborhood of Beirut’s southern suburbs.
His wife Hanan
al-Muqdad, who was in his company, was also arrested for questioning, NNA said.
