-snip-

The man, who has asked that his identity not be revealed, told NBC News that he managed to escape and called his captors “brutal and cautious.”

The victim told police the two men said they "would not kill him because he wasn’t American," according to a police report obtained by NBC News.

The older brother might have lived and the younger one died or maybe they would have held this guy hostage
