A Qatari envoy arrived Thursday in the outskirts of the Lebanese northeastern border town of Arsal to continue talks with the kidnappers of the troops and policemen who were abducted in August.
“The Qatari envoy headed to Arsal's outskirts after he was escorted by Lebanese security agents to the center of the town,” state-run National News Agency reported.
Terrorist Al-Nusra and Daesh groups have been holding several troops and policemen hostage since August 2, when they overran the northeastern border town of Arsal and engaged in bloody clashes with the army.
The two groups have since executed three troops and threatened to murder more hostages if Lebanese authorities didn't fulfill their demands.
