One of the 11 Lebanese hostages held by the Syrian rebels has been released .

Hussein Ali Omar has arrived in Turkey Saturday morning, Al-Jazeera television reported.

Last May, 11 Shiite pilgrims were abducted in Syria’s Aleppo while returning from a pilgrimage in Iran. Later in the month, a previously unknown armed group calling itself the “Syrian Revolutionaries—Aleppo Province” said that it was holding the group, while the Free Syrian Army had repeatedly denied its involvement in the abduction.
