The Daily Star - Lebanese soldier kidnapped in Beirut suburb released, June 21 2012


BEIRUT: Unidentified gunmen kidnapped a Lebanese Army soldier overnight from Beirut's southern suburbs and took him to the Bekaa Valley, security sources told The Daily Star Thursday.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Ali Ahmad Assaf was released a few hours later.
Two unidentified individuals had intercepted Ali Ahmad Assaf in his car in the southern Beirut neighborhood of Ghobeiri around midnight, jumped into his white Nissan and forced him to drive to Hor Taala, in east Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
In Hor Taala, the kidnappers forced Assaf to send an mobile text message to his father informing him of his location.
It was not clear whether the kidnappers had demanded any ransom.
The security sources said Assaf, upon his release at dawn Thursday, headed to the Army Barracks in Ablah, the Bekaa, to report his kidnapping.
