Syrian Troops Kidnap Citizen in Akkar
[An Nahar] Syrian troops crossed over into Leb Wednesday night and kidnapped a Lebanese citizen, reported the daily al-Mustaqbal... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri... on Thursday. It said that Syrian border guards crossed the Kabir River near the town of al-Abboudiyeh in Akkar and kidnapped Mohammed Mahmoud Ibrahim. He has since been taken to Syrian territory. Tensions have mounted in the town over al-Ibrahim's fate and its residents have issued calls for his release. Members of his family have since blocked in protest the international road leading to Syria at al-Abboudiyeh, reported the National News Agency. They threatened to maintain the protest and escalate their action until the abductee is freed. They demanded that the Lebanese authorities intervene to stop what they called "Syria's repeated violations" against Leb. Posted by: Fred 2012-05-11 |
