You've probably read the stories that Sunni Shaykhh from Majdel Anjar, Lebanon (pictured above) was kidnapped by mysterious unknown assailants assumed to be from another sect. (Majdel Anjar is in the Beka'a near Anjar).
Outraged residents of his village blocked the road to the Syrian border to protest his abduction and to demand his rescue.
The pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat (owned by Saudis) reported on Thursday that Majzoub had been in dispute with radical groups in the nearby village of Kamid al-Loz dating back to the time when he was the imam of that town. The dispute made him leave to settle in his hometown of Majdel Anjar, the report said.
More recent news has emerged.
The kidnapper has been identified. As suspected it turned out it was one of the members of the radical ...
Well, no, actually it turned out the "Shaykh" had staged his own kidnapping hoping to secure sufficient ransom to repay his debts.
Luckily he was rescued before his kidnapper could do him severe bodily harm. Though as Lebanon's Daily Star reports not completely unharmed: "But police found Majzoub, who is in his 20s, in a house near Majdel Anjar on Thursday night, with his beard and hair shaven off but otherwise unharmed. "
