Maryland man arrested in child kidnapping

Federal agents have arrested a Maryland man who was accused of international parental kidnapping, ending a six-year saga. FBI and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents arrested Faical Chebbi of Accokeek on Wednesday after he landed at Dulles International Airport, prosecutors said. Chebbi, who made an initial appearance in court Thursday, was accused of taking his two children to Tunisia in 2011. The case highlighted the problem of international child abductions, where one parent takes a child to a country where U.S. custody orders are ignored. Federal prosecutors said he faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
