Lebanon

The Muslim Scholars Committee delivered video to the government that shows nine kidnapped Lebanese troops being held captive by Islamists. The Al Nusrah Front and the Islamic Front also released lists of names of those held captive. Security forces arrested three Syrians in the Bekaa Valley for posting the logo of an extremist group in various places and seeking to recruit for the group. Rabih Nehmeh, an al Qaeda member who was linked to the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005, was released from Roumieh Prison.
