| [An Nahar] Unidentified assailants on Thursday claimed being members of the military police and kidnapped a man in the Bekaa town of Talya, only to release him shortly afterwards. "Two men kidnapped Nicolas al-Murr after stealing jewelry he was wearing and taking some of his money," MTV reported, adding that the robbery and the abduction took place inside al-Murr's shop in Talya. MTV said the kidnappers claimed belonging to a security body, while al-Jadeed television noted that they told their victim that they were members of the military police. Al-Jadeed later said al-Murr was released shortly after his abduction. Thursday's kidnapping comes as army troops and security forces have been implementing a security plan in the Bekaa, the North and Beirut. The plan has been successful in arresting several leaders of kidnapping rings. |
