"The Syrian branch of Al Qaeda has acknowledged that it captured 45
United Nations peacekeepers in southern Syria, saying that they were
being held in retaliation for what the group called the United Nations’
failure to help the people of Syria during the country’s civil war.
The
group, the Nusra Front, also accused the peacekeeping force, which has
monitored the demarcation line between Syria and the Israeli-occupied
Golan Heights since 1974, of protecting Israeli-controlled territory
while doing nothing to stop the killing on the Syrian side.
The statement, released late Saturday, contained a group photo
of the captured peacekeepers, who are from Fiji, as well as a
photograph of their identification cards. The statement said they were
being treated well and were given food and medical care, but it issued
no demands for their release."...
