Lebanese hostages threatened over Hezbollah Syria role

BEIRUT, Sept 5 (AFP): Al-Qaeda's Syria franchise Friday released a video showing nine Lebanese army and police hostages it said could pay the price for the Shiite group Hezbollah's military intervention in the Syrian conflict.
The Al-Nusra Front video, entitled "Who Will Pay the Price?", shows the abducted members of Lebanon's security forces condemning Hezbollah, which has fought alongside President Bashar al-Assad's regime against rebels.
More than 35 Lebanese police and soldiers were captured in unprecedented clashes on August 2 between the country's security forces and jihadists who had crossed the border from Syria.
