Pax Jolie targeted by kidnappers

Angelina Jolie's new son Pax was reportedly the target of a kidnapping plot. The threat comes just weeks after Jolie admitted that she had herself avoided an attempted abduction during a recent humanitarian mission somewhere overseas (Jolie didn't reveal where). The Tomb Raider actress's security team uncovered the plot to kidnap 3-year-old Pax once he had landed in the U.S. with his new mom. "They're highly skilled operatives with little regard for human life," an insider close to Jolie and partner Brad Pitt's security team of the would-be kidnappers. "Information came out that leaders of the gang ordered their LA members to devise a plan to kidnap Pax before demanding a ransom of $100 million for his safe return. Brad and Angie would have a number of days to hand over the money or risk the boy's life." A rep for Pitt denies the claims.
