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 Lebanon 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.
Earlier on Sunday, the army arrested two people in the northern town of Ehden for transporting weapons and ammunition.

we know you do not like or rather hate Geagea and that is your right. But what has Geagea got to do in this news. Your feelings towards Geagea should not blind your judgments. The fact is that the Hizbullah is heavily involved in Syria with Assad, and that there are Lebanese Sunni extremists participating in the fighting. Yet there are no evidences showing that M14 is sending fighters, arming and supplying them with logistics to fight in Syria. We cannot claim the same about Hizbullah

josh, if m14 support the revolution against assad it doies not mean it supports al nusra extremists or criminals. we support civilians protesting peacefully against a terrorist regime, we support fsa fighting the regime army and militias who have committed numerous crimes against civilians. No we do not support al nusra or any crazy bear growing fundamentalist.
