Army Arrests Prostitution Ring Linked to Kidnap Gang

The army announced Wednesday that it has arrested a “prostitution ring linked to a kidnap gang” in the northern city of Tripoli.

“An Intelligence Directorate patrol arrested yesterday in the city of Tripoli the Palestinian-Syrian woman Kinda Oueis and Lebanese national Walid Sobh, who together with fugitive Syrian Tarek Wifaqi constitute a prostitution ring linked to a kidnap gang,” the Army Command said in a statement.

It said the gang had two days ago tried to abduct the son of a soldier after chasing him on the al-Bohsas highway.

“The two detainees have been referred to the relevant authorities for further investigations,” the military added.
