UN says arrangements made to free peacekeepers

The United Nations says arrangements have been made with all parties for the release of 21 peacekeepers being held captive by Syrian rebels, hopefully on Saturday.

Josephine Guerrero, a spokeswoman for the UN Peacekeeping Department, said the UN peacekeeping mission monitoring a cease-fire line between Israel and Syria sent a team to the village where they are being held Friday, but because of the late hour and darkness "it was considered unsafe to continue the operation."
