Failed Kidnapping Attempt in Zahle as Victim's Car Gets Stuck in Mud

Several men set a Lebanese woman free in the outskirts of the eastern town of Forzol shortly after abducting her and contacting her husband for ransom, the National News Agency reported on Monday.

NNA said Fadi Fathallah received a phone call from his wife Mary Abdullah, 43, informing him that her kidnappers left her there after her car got stuck in mud, and escaped to an unknown location.

Earlier, the man told police that the kidnappers called him from his wife's mobile phone to ask for ransom after they seized her as she was driving his black Mercedes in Zahle's industrial city.

Forzol is about five to seven kilometers away from Zahle.
