Gunmen Kidnap Drivers, Seize Trucks in Brital
Armed men briefly kidnapped two drivers and took over their trucks near the eastern town of Brital, the state-run National News Agency reported Friday.
NNA said the attack took place at Brital's entrance as the drivers were transporting outdoor light poles belonging to state-run firm Electricite du Liban.
The drivers and trucks were taken to an unknown location, the agency said, without mentioning the cause of the incident.
They were later released on condition that they go back to Zahle and don't continue their trip to Baalbek.
OTV said the attack came against the backdrop of differences between a former contractor and EDL.
But according to al-Jadeed, financial differences caused the kidnapping.
Later Friday, reports said the army raided the residence of an EDL employee in Brital.

You beat me to it mowaten. I was thinking the same thing, exactly the same! Yes, HA is always helping the army to crack down on criminals.
We are so so similar: we are both narcissists, both shia extremists who pretend to be moderates, both have an inferiority complex, both pretend to be secular, and both have multiple accounts. I just hope readers don't think we are the same poster.
