The daily Star - Two men abducted in separate incidents, one freed, June 22 2012

BEIRUT: Two men were kidnapped in separate incidents Thursday, with one released shortly afterward. The National News Agency said Mohammad Makkieh had been snatched from his Toyota van on the Baalbek-Deir al-Ahmar road at around 6:30 p.m. Security sources said the kidnappers have demanded a ransom for his release. In the other incident, unidentified gunmen kidnapped a Lebanese Army soldier overnight Wednesday from Beirut’s southern suburbs and took him to the Bekaa Valley, security sources said. The sources said Ali Ahmad Assaf was released a few hours later. Two unidentified individuals intercepted Assaf in his car in the southern Beirut neighborhood of Ghobeiri around midnight and forced him to drive to Hor Taala, in the Bekaa. Once there, the kidnappers forced Assaf to send a text message to his father informing him of his location. It was not clear whether they demanded a ransom.
