BEIRUT: The Lebanese army denied in a communiqué on Monday that kidnapped Middle East Airlines employee Joseph Sader had been handed over to its intelligence wing. Earlier, An-Nahar daily quoted high-ranking security sources as saying that a "certain influential party" handed Sader to army intelligence Sunday evening. The sources said the army will eventually return Sader to his family after learning more about his abduction. Sader, 50, an official of MEA's IT department, was kidnapped Thursday morning near Beirut Airport, by three unidentified assailants. The syndicate representing MEA employees pledged in a statement on Friday to adopt "escalatory steps" if Sader was not set free. The syndicate pledged a "major response against whoever thinks of attacking any employee with MEA, the company that has served the nation in dark times." - The Daily Star
