Kidnapped Syria nuns 'expected' to be freed - reports



A group of nuns kidnapped from a Syrian town in December were expected to be released thanks to Lebanese-Qatari mediation, a monitoring group and Lebanese media reports said on Sunday.

The 13 nuns and three maids were kidnapped from the famed Christian hamlet of Maalula and taken to the nearby Syrian rebel town of Yabrud, where they have been held by Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front.
