Jihadists kidnap nearly 200 Kurds in Syria: NGO
Syria’s most extremist group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), have kidnapped nearly 200 Kurdish civilians from the Aleppo area, a monitor said on Friday.
“Fighters from ISIL on Thursday kidnapped at least 193 Kurdish civilians aged from 17 to 70 years from the village of Qabasin in Aleppo province,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said the reasons behind their kidnapping were “unknown, but this kind of act takes place repeatedly in areas under ISIL control.”
