Freed by FSA, Filipino soldiers arrive in Jordan

Filipino UN peacekeepers seized by the Free Syrian Army on the Golan arrived in Jordan yesterday, hours after their captors freed them from an ordeal of more than three days.
“They arrived in Jordan; they are on Jordanian land now,” a Jordanian government spokesman said.
The Philippines Ambassador in Amman, Olivia V Palala, also confirmed it. Authorities in Manila gave a cautious welcome to the news.
“We cannot confirm yet. We are hearing it from television but they have not even shown a video. So we sent our men there from the UN force to verify,” said military spokesman Col. Arnulfo Burgos.
