Syrian rebel soldiers kidnap two Priests

CWN – 15/2/13

Two Christian priests—one Armenian Catholic and the other Greek Orthodox—have been kidnapped by Syrian rebel soldiers.

Armenian Catholic Archbishop Boutros Marayati of Aleppo told the Fides news service that it was unclear whether the kidnappers represented the rebel forces or were renegades acting for themselves. Church officials are trying to establish contact with the kidnappers; to date no ransom demand has been confirmed.

Father Michel Kayyal (Armenian Catholic) and Father Maher Mahfouz (Greek Orthodox) were taken by armed men from a bus on the road from Aleppo to Damascus. The priests were the only passengers on the bus who were abducted.

    399136 850768The the next time I just read a weblog, I actually hope that this doesnt disappoint me approximately brussels. Get real, Yes, it was my option to read, but I genuinely thought youd have some thing intriguing to say. All I hear is usually a couple of whining about something that you could fix when you werent too busy looking for attention. 823816
