The pastor of Baalbek-Deir al-Ahmar escaped a kidnap attempt on Saturday evening in the Bekaa.
“Pastor Semaan Atallah was able to escape an abduction attempt on the Iaat-Deir al-Ahmar road,” the state-run National News Agency.
"Two four-wheel drives followed our car and tried to intercept it,” Semaan detailed on the incident, according to NNA.
"I was in the car along with the driver, and the latter decided to keep going forward,” he added.
But when the vehicle neared an army checkpoint, the stalkers fled to an unknown destination, the pastor revealed.
"When Semaan arrived in Deir al-Ahmar (in northern Bekaa), the towns' residents rang the churches' bells to protest the abduction attempt.”
The NNA noted that Semaan is in good health.

Whoever attempted this crime, Lebanese forces, or interested individuals, must find the perp. and hang him by his beard. I would also consider identifying his family for future consideration.

you speak as if you don't live on this planet. I doubt there is even ISF in those areas and if there were what do you think they can do against HA. Blaming ISF is not even funny

Hey guys don't jump to conclusions. Some of the kidnappings are done by Christians on Christians . There are bad apples everywhere. Read Robert Hatem's book: From Israel to Damascus to see what the "Christian" Hbieka was doing to his fellow Christians..
