Oh, The Damn Irony: Syrian rebels issue demands for hostages' release

Al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front demands to be taken off United Nations terrorist list in return for freeing 45 Fijian peacekeepers

Yes, we're terrorists and will remain terrorists but damn you; take us off the list of terrorist organizations or else.  There will be more terrorism and we're the ones to do it.
Thank you:
Your friends in terror Nusra Front


Syrian rebels have issued three demands for the release of 45 Fijian peacekeepers they've held captive for five days, Fiji's military commander has said.

Brig Gen. Mosese Tikoitoga said the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front wants to be taken off the United Nations terrorist list, humanitarian aid delivered to the capital Damascus, and compensation for three of its fighters it says were killed in a shootout with UN officers.

Tikoitoga did not say if the demands would be seriously considered. He said the UN had sent hostage negotiators to Syria to take over discussions from military leaders.

"Negotiations have moved up to another level with the professional negotiators now in place," he said.
