Man Abducted over Weekend Returns Home after Being Abandoned by Kidnappers
Bassel al-Mays, who was kidnapped over the weekend, managed to escape on Monday from the abductors, the National News Agency reported.
The Army Command explained in a statement that the kidnappers had abandoned the captive in a cave in the Dahr al-Baydar region after the army investigations determined their identities.
They have since fled to an unknown location.
Al-Mays meanwhile fled the cave and headed to the nearest military post.
Investigation are underway to determine the details of the crime, said the statement.
NNA reported that Al-Mays has since returned to his residence in the town of Makseh in the eastern Bekaa valley.
He was on his way home on Saturday along with his wife when the four men blocked his road, opened fire in the air and forced the woman out of their car.
Lebanon has been witnessing a kidnapping spree of businessmen or investors but the authorities have vowed to put an end to the phenomenon.
