The missing United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) legal adviser Carl Campeau, who was reported to be kidnapped, is a Canadian, according to sources quoted by the Times of Israel.
He originally was thought to be from Austria and reportedly was kidnapped nearly three weeks ago from an outpost near the Golan Heights border.
