Militants Abduct more Christians in Syria
Source:CbnBEIRUT - Islamic State militants have seized more Christians from their homes in northeastern Syria.
Fears are mounting over the fate of the abducted Christians, with
hundreds taken captive, according to human rights activists.
The
abductions began Monday, when militants attacked a cluster of villages,
sending thousands of people fleeing to safer areas.
About 200
Assyrians and other Christians gathered in a church near Beirut Thursday
in solidarity with the victims in Syria and Iraq. One man said, "We are
praying for them and we are fasting." Others cried openly.
Assyrian refugee Thaera Jamil asked, "What was their sin?" She lamented
that "there is no one listening to the voice of the Christians."
