إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Abu Ibrahim, the abductor of the 11 Lebanese pilgrims, on Thursday appeared in a video apparently filmed minutes after the deadly airstrike on Aleppo’s Aazaz, in which he confirmed that four of the captives were killed and said the other seven were "in great danger.
“Bashar Assad’s warplanes that are supported by the U.N. Security Council and the international community have bombarded the buildings and the hospitals,” Abu Ibrahim, his face soaked in blood, says in the video which was broadcast by Lebanese TV networks.
“The Lebanese abductees came under bombardment and four of them were martyred. The other seven are in great danger due to the continuous shelling” of the area by regime forces, Abu Ibrahim added.
President Michel Suleiman said earlier on Thursday that Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour obtained information confirming that the 11 men abducted in Syria are doing well.
Relatives of the 11 pilgrims and their supporters on Wednesday blocked the Beirut airport road with burning tires after conflicting reports emerged on the fate of the men following scores of deaths in a raid on Aazaz in the northern province of Aleppo.
Dozens of Syrians were also kidnapped and Syrian-owned shops vandalized in Beirut’s southern suburbs as gunmen took to the streets in the southern suburb of Tiro.
Earlier on Wednesday, al-Meqdad clan said it kidnapped at least 20 Syrians to try to secure the release of a family member abducted near Damascus this week.
Reports at first said four of the pilgrims were killed and later said that the 11 men were safe.
They were kidnapped in Aleppo as they were heading home from a pilgrimage in Iran.

And the Huzb Allah people will blame this on the FSA instead of blaming the cowardly Syrian Air Force that bombs civilians.

No need stargaze. We will close the doors on you and keep u in your sewage ridden homes alone with no one to fight but yourselves. We will turn our backs from you and delete you from Lebanon so that the rest of us can live and prosper. We will give your own land so you spend eternity liberating land that doesn't belong to you but who cares! Fight as much as u want because clearly you cannot and have not achieve anything else. That and burn alcohol shops.

Stargate, its really sad that you would say that. I am sunni and reading this and have always thought of us as one country, I dont care about politics, i just read the articles and rarely comment and u just made me realize it sounds the country is already at war. I always thought we had learned from our mistakes, it doesnt seem like it. I pray for you and for all of us to find peace and forgivness.

US and Israel have no interest in loosing Bachar. He is the best neighbour Isreal wished for. He gave-up Golan in return of the nizam and since 30 years not a single shot was heared in that region. Just a verbal comedy from time to time to keep his followers beleive in his fake war. Since almost two years he is in a state of was and US in case really want to elminate him, could do it 100 times. But instead they are just giving him extensions hoping that he will get rid of the oppositions. Kofi Anan and the human right watchers were just tools of extension. Kazzafi was bombed by airplanes for doing the tenth of the crimes that Bachar has done yet to his people.

When all you guys have is hate, on both sides, how is this any good for your children , your investments, your future? How is everyone so excited and playful about war, rather than having real discusions to build differences on this site. What are you guys doing?
