A series of tit-for-tat abductions was sparked between the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) the al-Qaida-affiliate al-Nusra Front a day after clashes erupted between the two groups on the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal.

Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) reported on Tuesday that Syrian national Hussam Trad, an ISIL member, went missing in the outskirts of Arsal.

Security sources estimated that Trad was kidnapped in retaliation to the abduction of Ahmed Seifeddine on Monday.

Seifeddine, is also known as al-Silis.
