Lebanon charges four accused of kidnapping for Israel’s Mossad

BEIRUT: Four people accused of a kidnapping in Lebanon for Israel’s Mossad spy agency last month have been charged, a judicial official said on Thursday, after a retired security officer whose brother was linked to an Israeli airman’s disappearance went missing. Israel has apprehended suspects in Lebanon before and Mossad is accused of regularly attempting to contact Lebanese people to facilitate its operations, while Lebanon has arrested dozens of people on suspicion of collaborating with Israel over the years.
