The sister of Lebanese soldier Ali Bazzal, who was kidnapped by Islamic State militants, cries as she sits on the ground blocking a main road, after Nusra Front released this afternoon a picture for her brother with a sword points on his neck threatened to kill him within hours if Lebanese authorities do not release a woman that is being held over terrorism charges, as she protests demanding that the government negotiate with the militants, in downtown Beirut, Lebanon, Friday, Nov. 28, 2014. Police used water cannons to break up a protest Friday by relatives of several kidnapped Lebanese soldiers, after the protesters blocked a main highway in the capital. Several protesters and some journalists were also beaten by security forces as they broke up the demonstration.
