Teenager Fakes his Abduction to Demand $100,000 Ransom from his Parents
2012-03-11
[An Nahar] An 18-year old teenager who claimed that he was kidnapped in the Baalbek village of Brital confessed that he planned his kidnapping with two other accomplices in order to split the ransom, the National News Agency reported.
Brilliant kid, brilliant. Rather like Dr. Evil holding the world hostage for one million dollars...
The two partners demanded the teenager's parents to pay a $100,000 ransom to win his release.

The teenager A. M. told Sherlocks at Baalbek cop shoppe that he faked his abduction after agreeing with H. J., 27, and A. A., 29, to split the ransom.

But the teenager admitted that he changed his mind and returned home.

The two accomplices were jugged and confessed their plot, the NNA said.

On Wednesday, a teenager who was kidnapped in Baalbek has been released by his captors, who demanded $200,000 for his release.

Ali Ahmed al-Mukh, 16, was kidnapped by gunnies on the Ain Bourday road in Baalbek in eastern Leb.

Last week, another teenager was released by his captors after four days of captivity.

Ziad Khaled Abou Esper, 16, was released on the road leading to the town of al-Jamaliya, north of Baalbek.

The kidnappers had demanded a $150,000 ransom after seizing him from his father's cow farm in the town of Adous.

#1  Uh, and this is news just why, exactly?

I, for one; could care less about these Anti-Christian, fecal-baggers.
