Today, August 5, a militant group released the citizen “Rajab Al-Abu” in the occupied city of Afrin after demanding a ransom of $4,000.
The unidentified armed individuals abducted “Rajab Al-Abu” from a van near his home, located in al-Ashrafieh neighborhood, adjacent to the Termanini Quarry. Following the abduction, his son transferred the ransom amount to a person based in Kilis city, Turkey.
The family of “Rajab Al-Abu” was unable to identify the kidnappers, as the incident occurred on July 30, 2023, when masked militants driving two vehicles with plates affiliated with the “National Army” militias abducted him and headed towards an unknown destination.
The released citizen, aged 60, originally hails from Hanano neighborhood in Aleppo and has been residing in Afrin since 2013, specifically in al-Ashrafieh neighborhood near the Termanini Quarry. He works in collecting and selling used tools.
