Syria's war: Swap offer for bodies of Russian air crew
Group says it has bodies of five people shot down in helicopter, demands release of prisoners in exchange for corpses.
A group in Syria has reportedly demanded the release of prisoners held in Syrian and Lebanese jails in exchange for the bodies of five people who were shot down in a Russian military helicopter last week.
The Russian helicopter was downed in Syria's rebel-held Idlib province on Sunday, killing all five people on board in the biggest officially acknowledged loss of life for Russian forces since they started operations in Syria.
A Reuters news agency report said the demand was made on Thursday in a statement signed off by a group calling itself the General Foundation for Prisoners' Affairs.
The group said it wanted the release of prisoners held in Syrian government jails and by Hezbollah in Lebanon, but did not specify who those prisoners were or how many it wanted freed.
It also demanded an end to the siege of areas blockaded by the Syrian army and its allies, and for the delivery of significant amounts of humanitarian aid to people living in besieged areas.

Drop the prisoners out of a plane right on their heads.
Russians should say OK we’ll meet you here and then Carpet Bomb the area
Give them the prisoner’s corpses.
The Russian answer is coming...
Just be patient.
Obama would probably do it.
Give them the prisoner’s corpses.
This is pure Russian ,dead for the dead
Give the Russians Obama.
How about we don’t use a tactical nuke or neutron bomb on Damascus in return for the crew?
Damascus????
The islamic scum don’t control that city.
Kill ‘em, burn ‘em (not necessarily in that order), and drag them out to the exchange.
The Syrians are going to wish they had not tried to blackmail the bear...
Apparently these hosers don’t understand what happens when they try to bargain with Russia
They haven’t ever read what happened in Lebanon when the Russian envoy was kidnapped and the kidnappers started receiving the body parts of their family members
I remember that well. But that was back when the KGB was very active in the region.
You mean, the KGB - like the agency Putin used to head?
I bet they forgot how to brutalize terrorist who try to blackmail them...
Sarc
Actually the Russian response to these towelheads ought to be epic, if we ever hear it about it
Kill them with high velocity pig bones.
It actually took a few years to find out about the “unfortunate” incidences that took place in Lebanon.
first i’d fill their guts with c4 and detonators, and then do what you said.
If it were my body and my family, my reply would be “go to hell!!!”
“Give them the prisoner’s corpses.”
SNAP. We have a winner
