One of the nine Lebanese Shia pilgrims abducted by rebels in Syria is greeted by relatives upon his arrival at Beirut International airport yesterday, after being released in Turkey on Friday. They were held in Syria for 17 months before Qatar mediated their release in exchange for two Turkish Airlines pilots seized in Lebanon in August.
