by Jordan Schachtel 24 Feb 2015Washington, D.C.
Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists have kidnapped dozens of Christians in northern Syria. According to reports, some sources state that as many as 90 were abducted from their homes near Tal Tamr.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an anti-Assad regime monitoring group, said that 90 Assyrian Christians were abducted as Islamic State fighters were engaged in battles with Kurdish and Assyrian forces.
The Observatory claimed that its sources heard radio chatter describing the new captives as “crusaders.”
