AlQa'dah 16, 1435, September 11, 2014, SPA -- The United Nations said Thursday all 45 Fijian peacekeepers detained by an al Qaida-linked Syrian rebel group have been released in Syria's Golan Heights. "We can confirm they have been released," U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq said in New York City. He said the peacekeepers were released at the Quneitra crossing point in the Syrian-controlled part of the Golan Heights. "All the 45 peacekeepers are in good condition and will proceed back to Camp Foar for medical assessment," the United Nations said in a statement. Fighters from the Nusra Front captured the Fijian soldiers in late August in the Golan Heights, where a 1,200-strong U.N. force monitors the buffer zone between Syria and Israel. -- SPA 16:56 LOCAL TIME 13:56 GMT تغريد
