Militants freed but they don't sound like ISIS.
Syrian regime frees militants in exchange for Russian bodies
The Syrian government has begun releasing 169 militants in exchange for the bodies of five Russians killed after their helicopter was shot down in northern Syria in August, a lawyer says.
Michel Chammas, a lawyer representing many of the prisoners, said 50 "inmates" including seven women were set free from Adra prison and 84 others from Hama prison on Tuesday.
“Another 31 inmates at Homs prison were also informed that they are going to be let go but they still haven’t been released. Four others held elsewhere should also be released,” he said.
Chammas declined to comment on the name of the militant groups involved in the swap deal, but a spokesman for the militants said they had charged a “commission” with negotiating the swap.
