Al-Nusra Front Releases Hujeiri Family Member in Arsal
Fundraising. Al Nusra hasn't the resources of ISIS in Iraq, so they must do what they can to meet expenses -- and kidnapping is such a lucrative little game.
[AnNahar] Al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front released on Tuesday a Lebanese man, several days after it kidnapped him for allegedly "disagreeing" with the terrorist group's political views, the state-run National News Agency said.

Hujeiri, who is also known as Ahmed Hadiya, hails from the northeastern border town of Arsal.

On Saturday, a security source told Agence La Belle France Presse that the gunnies kidnapped him "because he disagreed with their political views."

An official in Arsal said Hujeiri was accused of "collaborating with 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...
But NNA sad his kidnapping was the result of financial problems.

Arsal saw a fierce battle in August pitting the Lebanese army against jihadists from al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State (IS) group.

The fighting left scores of soldiers, civilians and jihadists dead. The murderous Moslems, who withdrew to the Qalamoun mountains across the border, kidnapped Lebanese troops and coppers.

Two of the kidnapped troops have since been beheaded, despite attempts mediated through 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. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
to solve the hostage crisis.

Also Tuesday, a Paleostinian businessman, who was kidnapped in the town of Douris in the district of Baalbek, was released.

NNA said Mohammed Khaled Ismail, a Paleostinian expatriate in Denmark, was set free a day after his abduction following the mediation of certain political parties.
