IS kidnaps 56 Christians in Syria
Damascus, Feb 24
The Islamic State (IS)
militants Monday kidnapped 56 Syrian Christians of Assyrian minority in
Al-Hasakah province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The
Assyrians were abducted from the town of Tal Shamiram in the
countryside of the predominantly-Kurdish city of Hasaka, Xinhua
reported.
Tens of other Assyrians were also taken into captivity
by the IS in the town of Tal Hurmos, adjacent to Tal Shamiram, according
to the London-based watchdog group.
The IS repeatedly attacked
minority groups across Syria and most recently in Libya, where the
terrorist group abducted and executed over 20 Egyptian Coptic
Christians, branding them the "worshipers of the cross."
