The son of Herbal expert Zein al-Atat was kidnapped by four masked gunmen in the Mdeirej-Sofar road that links Beirut to the eastern Bekaa valley, the National News Agency reported on Friday.
NNA said that Ibrahim al-Atat was driving his Hummer along with his cousin Mahmoud al-Atat and his friend Wael Abdul Khaleq at around 8:30 pm Thursday when four gunmen riding a black Mercedes four-wheeler with tined widows and no license plate blocked his way and whisked him out of his vehicle.
According to the two witnesses who were in the car with him, the kidnappers headed to the direction of Beirut on the Hammana-Sofar road.
Security forces have since launched an investigation to know Ibrahim al-Atat’s whereabouts and the circumstances of the kidnapping, NNA said.
