flag by youth in Beirut's Ashrafiyeh district.
Sources close to the Moslem Scholars Committee said in comments published in the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat on Tuesday that "the group (al-Nusra Front) will not release the soldiers and coppers without anything in return."
Media reports have said that the jihadists have a list of demands, including the withdrawal of Hizbullah
...Party of God , a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
from battles in Syria, the release of ten Syrian inmates held at Roumieh prison in return for each captive soldier and policeman, an apology from al-Rahi over the burning of the flag and the end of calls by the Free Patriotic Movement

Reports said however that the flag was burned last month and not over the weekend.

Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi vowed to legally pursue the youth who set ablaze the flag, considering it a sectarian incitement. He also called for an investigation to be carried out into the burning of crosses in Tripoli.
For his part, FPM official MP Ibrahim Kanaan said that he will defend the youth who set ablaze the flag.
The Islamic State (IS) jihadist group has prompted widespread concern as it advances in both Syria and Iraq, killing hundreds of people, including in gruesome beheading and mass executions.
