REPORT: Negotiations between Abbas, al-Nusra Front finalized-sources
Sources told LBCI on Wednesday that the deal between the Director General of General Security Major General Abbas Ibrahim and a mediator over the case of Arsal abducted soldiers was finalized.  
 
Meanwhile, the Al-Nusra Front denied the media reports stating that negotiations between the group and Abbas are in fact complete, adding they are inaccurate.
 
The group, via its Twitter account, noted that negotiations have been postponed for a while.
 
The group suggested that a committee, which includes the families of the abducted soldiers, be formed to supervise the negotiation process.
The military men were taken hostage in August 2014 when militants from Syria took over the Lebanese border town of Arsal for five days before withdrawing toward the Syrian frontier, taking with them Lebanese soldiers and policemen as hostages.

The clashes were the most dangerous spillover of violence from the civil war in neighboring Syria.

While the release of five men provided a degree of relief, concerns remain about the troops and policemen still in captivity, as several were executed by the terrorist groups to exert pressure on the Lebanese authorities to meet their demands.

The abductors are demanding the release of Islamist detainees in Lebanese prisons in exchange for the release of the hostages.

Negotiations have been ongoing, with the help of a mediator in order to reach common terms to release the hostages, but no results have been reached so far.
