"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Doha to pay Nusra ransom for Lebanon hostages: source- Daily Star

BEIRUT: Lebanese Islamist prisoners and a ransom will be exchanged for the captive servicemen being held by the Nusra Front on Lebanon's northeastern border, a security source familiar with the negotiations told The Daily Star Tuesday.
According to the source, ransom money was now the key demand of the jihadi group, and the main reason behind General Security head Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim’s intended visits to Qatar and Turkey.
The source said that while Ibrahim would seek ransom money from Doha, he expects Ankara to facilitate the swap deal.
