[An Nahar] [An Nahar] An army patrol on Sunday managed to arrest three Lebanese men and two Syrians as they were trying to kidnap a Syrian man in the Mount Leb region of Aley, LBCI television reported.

Army troops stopped the group's car in Aley's western neighborhood after spotting a fake license plate on the vehicle and found weapons in their possession, the TV network said.

"During interrogation, it turned out that they were trying to abduct a Syrian man to swap him for another who is held in Qusayr" in Homs province, LBCI added.

It identified the three Lebanese as Samir Ghazi, Ali Awaita and Akram Omar and the two Syrians as Alaa and Abdul Rahman al-Shibani.
