BINH PHUOC– A Vietnamese man in southern Binh
Phuoc Province's Chon Thanh District has paid a ransom of US$10,000 to
retrieve his kidnapped daughter from Cambodia.
Nguyen Van Thien said his 14 year-old daughter,
Nguyen Thi Bao An, was discovered missing by her grandmother on Sunday
night. At noon a day later, he received a phone call from a Cambodian
man who said he was keeping An in the border area between the two
countries. [Are they sure the man is Cambodian? How does a Cambodian man living in Cambodia knows the father of the girl and the telephone number of this Vietnamese family? In the past there were Vietnamese gamblers, after losing million dongs in Cambodian casino, have turned to kidnapping their fellow Vietnamese and held them to ransom in casino hotels in Cambodia to avoid arrests by Vietnamese police].
The man asked Thien to bring a sum of $10,000 to
the Moc Bai border gate in Tay Ninh Province as ransom for his daughter,
or else she would be beaten.
For safety reasons, Thien kept everything secret and borrowed the money to meet the kidnapper's demand.
After countless negotiations, the family rescued An on Wednesday, still in the dark as to the identity of the perpetrators.
The Chon Thanh District police are investigating the case. -- VNS
