Child captor says he wanted to give him to dad

A man waited for an Arab expatriate in Saudi Arabia to go into the mosque to pray, sneaked inside for a mattress then wrapped the expatriate’s son who was playing out and carried him away.

“The father, seeing this, cut his prayers and started to scream, alerting security men who happened to be in the area,” Okaz newspaper said on Sunday.

“They chased the man and captured him….he told them he was not kidnapping the boy but was looking for his father to hand him over so the boy will not get away…the man was arrested on kidnap charges.”
