NUN FREED BY SYRIAN REBELS ARRIVE IN DAMASCUS

Greek Orthodox nuns freed after being held hostage by Al-Qaeda-linked Syrian rebels arrived in Damascus on Monday morning, ending their four-month ordeal, Syrian state media reported.
Residents gave the 13 nuns a warm welcome at the Church of the Cross in the predominantly Christian neighbourhood of Qassaa, official news agency SANA reported. 
They were released early Monday in a rare deal between the Syrian government and rebels of the Nusra Front.
