Three Men Kidnapped in Arsal as Response to Jaafar Clan Member Abduction
2013-03-25
[An Nahar] Three men were kidnapped on Sunday in the Bekaa town of Arsal, the National News Agency reported.

This incident comes after Baalbeck's thirty-years old Hussein Kamel Jaafar was kidnapped earlier on Sunday.

"The three man are Mohammed Rayed, Ashraf Rayed and Malek al-Hojeiri," the NNA detailed.

"Gunmen in Arsal have kidnapped a Hermel resident," al-Mayadeen television said Sunday afternoon, adding that he was handed over to the Free Syrian Army.

"Gunmen in a black SUV have kidnapped Jaafar and headed to the Syria town of Fleita," MTV detailed.

"Arsal residents have accused the FSA of kidnapping Jaafar," said MTV.

"The Jaafar clan urged their family member's immediate release," the NNA said.

MTV reported that they have threatened to execute tit-for-tat abduction operations following Hussein's abduction.

OTV said: "The number of kidnapped people in Arsal has increased to five."

The NNA noted that the army has heavily deployed its forces in the region while radio Voice of Leb (93.3) pointed out to a remarkable presence of Jaafar gunnies in the area.
