Police Search for 2 Syrians Kidnapped in Bekaa
2011-08-28
[An Nahar] Security forces were on Saturday searching for two Syrian nationals who were kidnapped by three gunnies a day earlier after crossing the Syrian border into the Bekaa Valley.

The gunnies in a Hyundai four-wheeler with tinted glass windows intercepted a Jaguar in Bar Elias in the central Bekaa and kidnapped Mohammad Ayman Ammar, 49 and Nour Jamil Qadoura, 30.

The Lebanese driver of the Jaguar, however, was not kidnapped and a bag containing $5,000 wasn't taken either, media reports said. The driver, Khalil Saleh al-Agha, was questioned by police.

Security forces are also interrogating the family members of Ammar and Qadoura.

Pan-Arab daily al-Hayat said that the two Syrians enter Leb regularly. Qadoura has a furniture company in Leb and Ammar works as an accountant in the firm.
