Lebanon to Retrieve Bodies of Last Three Fighters Killed in Tall Kalakh Next Week
Syrian authorities will hand over to Lebanon the bodies of the remaining three fighters who were killed in an ambush by regime troops in the town of Tall Kalakh, local newspapers reported on Wednesday.
According to As Safir newspaper, Lebanese authorities will receive the last batch of corpses during the upcoming week in the third and last round of such transfer.
Syrian authorities handed over recently in two rounds the corpses of seven of the Salafist fighters, including a Palestinian.
Later, Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour told reporters ahead of a cabinet session held at the Grand Serail that he expects that the remaining bodies of the men would be “transferred very soon and maybe before Sunday.”
While there are conflicting reports on the number of fighters who infiltrated Tall Kalakh, media reports have said that several of them sought refuge with the rebel Free Syrian Army while around three others were arrested by regime troops and will be tried in Damascus.
Al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Wednesday that there is only one fighter detained by the regime forces.
