A 25-year-old Lebanese businessman has been kidnapped in northern Venezuela, his relative in Lebanon said Thursday.
Omar Hussein Fares, who has an electronics shop in the state of Falcon, was kidnapped several days ago, the National News Agency quoted his relative as saying.
The relative did not provide details as to how the abduction took place.
But NNA said that the man's lives in the city of Punto Fijo.
The agency added that Fares hails from the Bekaa town of Qaraoun.
Kidnapping is not unusual in Venezuela, and many cases are resolved within hours or days after payment of a ransom.
