A retired Lebanese security officer vanishes and his family thinks it was a covert Israeli abduction
A retired Lebanese security officer has gone missing and his family says Israeli operatives kidnapped him to get information about a long-missing Israeli airman. Relatives tell The Associated Press that a group of operatives lured Ahmed Shukr to the town of Zahle with a fake offer to buy some land from him. His wife says camera footage shows him leaving his car and getting into another. The family says his phone last registered in a nearby village the next morning. Lebanese prosecutors have charged four suspects. One of them is under arrest. Israel’s military has refused to comment. Shukr’s family says he is sick and needs daily medication.
