For the second consecutive day, families of the Lebanese hostages abducted in Syria's Aazaz kicked off on Friday morning a sit-in outside the Turkish Airline Offices in downtown Beirut, calling for the release of their relatives who have been under rebel custody for almost a year now. The families said that the hostages are with the Turkish intelligence service, calling on President Sleiman to summon the Turkish ambassador to solve the crisis. Eleven Lebanese pilgrims were kidnapped on their way back from Iran by insurgents hoping to use them for a prisoner swap on the 22nd of May. Only two have so far been released.
