Kidnapped University Student Released on Ransom in Brital
A 20-year-old university student, who was kidnapped earlier in the week, was on Saturday released in the eastern Bekaa Valley after ransom was paid, the state-run National News Agency reported.
Marc al-Hajj Moussa was abducted by armed men at dawn Thursday on a road in the Metn town of Mazraat Yashouh while on his way home in Bikfaya.
His car, a Toyota Land Cruiser, was later found in the area of Majdel Tarshish.
Moussa, who is a student at Balamand University, was handed over to the army intelligence and then his father by members of the Ismail and Jaafar families in the eastern town of Brital after he paid them a ransom, MTV said.
According to NNA, the ransom amounted to 350,000 dollars.

so these thugs got $350,000 as a reward for their criminal act....! Some of my acquaintances know the family.... a good hard working family... used to work in Saudi Arabia for years. They came back to Lebanon and built a house. The rumors are some of Mark's fellow students tipped the kidnappers that he came from a well to do family.... I hope it is not true.

Berri has to intervene. He certainly knows the shia thug who conducted the operation. He should do get him arrested.
