NNA - Head of the Progressive Socialist Party, MP Walid Jumblatt, on Friday condemned the abduction of a dozen of Lebanese and Syrian nuns in the Syrian historic town of Maaloula, deploring the constant aid of some regional sides and countries for hardliner gunmen.



He upped calls for their immediate release as well as for that of the two Orthodox Archbishops, Boulos Yazegi and Yuhanna Ibrahim.



Turning to the internal scene, Jumblatt highlighted the importance to provide political cover for the Lebanese army.
