Akhbar has learned that a group of masked men tried at dawn yesterday, Sunday, to kidnap a military official in the former Syrian regime known as "Abu Ali Kazak" from his home in the Balat area near the city of Byblos. According to information, two cars with tinted windows arrived at the building where Kazak lives, around one o'clock after midnight, and several masked men got out of them, went directly to Kazak's house, located on the fourth floor, and knocked on the door. Kazak was inside the house with his son and one of his employees, but after noticing the presence of masked men behind the door, they refrained from opening it before members of the group tried to break into the house and remove the door by force.
As a result, those present took shelter on the balconies and started screaming and calling for help, which triggered an alert in the place and caused the group to retreat quickly and escape in the two cars.
