Ahmadi is a Syrian journalist covering news in the north of the country, working on live broadcasts with Al-Jazeera in the Jarabulus area since the start of the uprising.
Meanwhile journalists Musaab al-Hamidi and Yilmaz Pasha are still detained after seven days by the Nusra Front in the in Tal-Abiadh area of Raqqa. Both are from Ras al-Ain in Hassakeh and were detained after they were accused of being close to the site of Brigade 17.
Nusra Front members broke into a house they were in during a meeting of the Syrian Women’s Conference in Tal Abiadh. All requests for their release have been refused.
