| Four Filipino UN peacekeepers abducted by armed men while patrolling in the demilitarised area between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights have been released, officials have said. The UN and the Philippine army both say that the four are in good health. They are now with the Philippine battalion in the Golan Heights, a Philippine army spokesman told AFP. Martyrs of Yarmouk rebels abducted them on Tuesday "for their own safety" amid clashes in the Yarmouk Valley. "They are fine, but as a matter of procedure they will have to undergo stress debriefing and a medical check-up," Philippine Brigadier General Domingo Tutaan told AFP. "We are happy that this has been resolved and the soldiers have been released seemingly unharmed." |
