February 12, 2009 - Naharnet - Gunmen Snatch MEA Official at Beirut Airport

Angry citizens of the southern town of Maghdousheh on Thursday blocked the main road leading to the Apple Province to protest against the kidnapping earlier in the day of their fellow citizen Youssef Sader near Beirut Airport.

Sader, a ranking official of Middle East Airline's IT department, was kidnapped after driving through the Lebanese Army checkpoint at the entrance to Beirut Airport.
Sader's brother, Antoine, said unidentified gunmen snatched Youssef in an area within 100 meters from the Army checkpoint, just before driving into the MEA headquarters.
