Lebanese authorities arrested two men suspected of raping more than 60 women, the Internal Security Forces said. In a statement posted online, the ISF said that the two men, aged about 34 and 22, lured their victims into their cars by offering them rides. Instead, they took uninhabited routes where they raped and robbed the women at gunpoint.

The statement said the man confessed to raping at least 50 women. read more
