[AnNahar] Jihadists have set hard demands in exchange for the release of the Lebanese soldiers and coppers, who were kidnapped in the northeastern border town of Arsal, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported on Tuesday.

(ISIL) raised the ceiling of their demands when Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world.

The Islamist gunnies, according to sources, added a crippling condition which is the release of prominent opposition figures from Syrian prisons. 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.

A Lebanese delegation headed by Prime Minister Tammam Salam traveled to Doha on Sunday on a one-day visit. Salam announced that Qatar agreed to negotiate the release of kidnapped soldiers and coppers as General Security chief Abbas Ibrahim, who accompanied the premier on his trip, remained there to follow up the case with Qatari and Turkish officials. Al-Joumhouria reported that Ibrahim is expected to return to Beirut on Tuesday along with the Qatari negotiating delegation. The soldiers and coppers were taken captive by Islamist gunnies in August in light of festivities in Arsal between the army and the gunnies who infiltrated the town from Syria. A few of the captives have since been released, while two others had their heads chopped off, prompting a backlash against Syrian refugees in Leb. A ministerial panel has been tasked with following up the case. | |
