The nation’s mainstream Shia Muslim militia captured the three gunmen who kidnaped a U.S. Marine officer in southern Lebanon last week, security sources said today.
The sources said that the three gunmen are among dozens of suspects the Amal militia rounded up while searching for Lt. Col. William R.
