[Rudaw] Eight Kurds held prisoner by the al-Qaeda affiliated Nusra Front in Syria were released Sunday after three weeks in captivity, the mediator who brokered the release told Rudaw Sunday.
"The Nusra Front released eight of the 60 detainees on Sunday who had been kidnapped by the group in Idlib province in May," Hado said. The Kurds had been captured on the main Afrin-Halab road in retaliation for the capture of a brother of a senior Nusra Front leader, according to Hado. He said that in early June, the gunnies freed another group of Kurdish detainees in the Syrian city of Baniyas. | |
