Nearly six months ago, two spanish journalists were kidnapped. The men were kidnapped at the Tal Abyad checkpoint in Raqqa province, close to the Turkish border, as they prepared to leave Syria after two weeks of coverage.The journalists were traveling with four fighters from the Free Syrian Army, who were also kidnapped, but released 12 days later. The fighters were supposed to have provided protection to the Spaniards, the newspaper reported. They have just arrived back safely to spain.
I think this is really awesome that they have been set free. Usually, in these types of situations, the kidnapped are not released. It seems that nearly everything is dangerous these days. Basically anyone sent to a country at war is in danger of being held captive. I think it looks very bad on Syria that they were kidnapped, but it does help that they were returned. I think all this in the middle east has been very out of hand in the past years.
