Beirut: Al-Qaida's Syrian affiliate Nusra Front released a video today showing lebanese policemen and a soldier captured by the group earlier this month. They were captured during the most serious cross-border attack since Syria's conflict began more than three years ago.
The video showed nine bearded men, eight of them in police uniforms and one wearing military fatigues. The captives said they will be killed if lebanon's militant Hezbollah movement, which backs Syrian President Bashar Assad, does not withdraw its fighters from Syria.
