Al-Qaeda captive speaks after release

Syrian media say government forces are advancing against the last territory of militants tied to al Qaeda, along with the Syria-Lebanon border, but reports elsewhere in the country suggest yet another ceasefire seems to have been broken.

Japanese journalist Jumpei Yasuda speaks about being captured by al-Qaeda forces in Syria: "To those who assisted to secure my release and to everyone who was worried about me, I deeply apologize"

Last week, The New York Times reported that Israeli agents, at the behest of the US, had assassinated al Qaeda's number two on the streets of Tehran. Abu Muhammad al-Masri was gunned down along with his daughter, Miriam. She was also reportedly a target, as she was being groomed for a leadership role in al Qaeda. Iran has vehemently denied these reports. To shed some light on this story, we talk to Ronen Bergman. He's one of the writers of the piece and also the author of "Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel's Targeted Assassinations".

The suspected Iraqi immigrant is said to have belonged to an al-Qaeda cell which carried out a series of deadly bombings in Baghdad. Belgian prosecutors said the attacks killed at least 376 people.
