LEBANON: Captors Demand $100K Ransom to Free Child Nabbed from Amchit




LEBANON: Captors Demand $100K Ransom to Free Child Nabbed from Amchit

The interrogation of a Syrian janitor and the members of his family is still ongoing after he was suspected of involvement in the Saturday abduction of the child Ricardo Imad Jaara, LBCI television reported on Sunday.

The child was nabbed outside his family home in the Jbeil district town of Amchit, LBCI said.

“The captors have once again contacted the family, offering to lower the ransom from $250,000 to $100,000,” the TV network added.

“The child briefly spoke to his mother at 4:00 am. He is in good health but has been refusing food,” LBCI said.

It said the family received a phone call from “a Syrian number operating on the Syrian network.”

“However, there are suspicions that the kidnappers are in the border area between Lebanon and Syria,” LBCI went on to say.

The family for its part stressed that it is “coherent” and that the abduction is not related to a family dispute.
