Ibrahim Vows: I Will Not Rest Until Arsal Hostages are Freed
General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim asserted on Sunday that he will not rest until the file of servicemen abducted by Islamist groups is resolved, the state-run National News Agency reported.
“We will not rest until we get the issue of abducted servicemen to a happy ending no matter what the difficulties are” said Ibrahim during the inauguration of a new General Security office in the Mount Lebanon town of Qartaba.
He urged all parties to commit to the State no matter how staggering it is, saying: “The state is our only shelter and we should stay united and have faith.”
Several servicemen were kidnapped by the Islamic State and al-Nusra Front groups in the wake of battles between the army and the jihadists in Arsal in August.
A number of the servicemen have since been released, four were executed, while the rest remain held.

Well your March 14 alliance are the ones to blame for our soldiers capture. You people supported those takfiris ISIS and Nusra fron the beginning, you even let them build bases at the border.
Now the Resistance are purging the border areas, so you people will be cut off from Syria thank God.

No No nah ya Mystic, your so-called resistance is simply trying to repair the damage it had started 5 years ago, and to be honest, you're not doing a good job either.

Mr. Ibrahim, you should take your retirement, someone a lot more qualified than you should replace you. You stink.
