I wonder how much ransom was paid, and I wonder how many more people will be kidnapped because the ransom was paid?

Good question. Perhaps the family or his employer paid?? The article states he was turned over to the United Nations.

I'm thinking it's more of a political move rather than pay off...

The world has seem the savagery of their like minded brethren...ISIS...

Pretty bad PR...

Nusra Front, the Qaeda affiliate in Syria needs funding unlike ISIS who just steal Iraqi assets like oil..

Maybe they don't want to be seem as complete barbarians if they want continued help to overthrew Assad...

Look, the ONLY thing that matters is that the press is now back on the liberal plantation... We have to have the right perspective here... The golf gaffe is now behind us.
