GPS Thwarts Kidnapping of Lebanese Man in Bekaa

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Four gunmen kidnapped a Lebanese man in the eastern Bekaa Valley but the operation was thwarted after the car rental company stopped the vehicle's engine through the GPS tracker, the state-run National News Agency reported on Wednesday.

NNA said the masked men were riding a black BMW when they stopped Qassem Mohammed Mahdi on the road of New Riyaq and forced him out of his rented Range Rover at gunpoint.

Two of the assailants placed Mahdi in their BMW while the two others took his Range Rover and sped away, said NNA.

But eyewitnesses contacted security forces and his family informed the car rental company, which stopped the Ranger Rover's engine via GPS.

The kidnappers were then forced to set Mahdi free and leave his car near the town of Nabi Sheet, NNA added.

why the kidnappers were forced to set Mahdi free since he was in their car and not the car he rented? This article does not make any sense
