| [ARA] After kidnapping hundreds of Assyrian Christians in northeastern Syria, holy warriors of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (IS/ISIS) reportedly transferred the abductees from Tel Temir to other areas of control in the provinces of Hasakah and Raqqa, military sources reported on Thursday. Speaking to ARA News, the member of al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front (Syria's branch of al-Qaeda) Samir Taji said that the Islamic State group has dispersed the Assyrian prisoners, including women and kiddies, in areas under its control such as Raqqa, al-Hol, Tel Hamis, and Mount Abdulaziz in Hasakah, in northeastern Syria. "The Assyrian hostages, who were captured after the battles of Aghibish (Assyrian village near Tel Temir) in Hasakah province, reached 250 people. They were first kept in an IS-held detention center near Mount Abdulaziz, before being transferred to other areas," Taji added. In the meantime, IS-linked media activists reported that the radical group has captured 40 Kurdish fighters of the People's Protection Units (YPG) and 4 fighters of the Assyrian forces of Sutoro during festivities near Tel Temir on Wednesday. Local committees documented the number of the missing people from the predominantly Assyrian villages, which is now under the IS control. The main affected villages are Tel Jazeera, Tel Faida, Tel Goran, Tel Hormuz and Tel Shamiram. The fate of the hostages is still unknown. Noteworthy, dozens of Assyrian Christian families were displaced from the town of Tel Temir in northeastern Syria following attacks by Death Eaters of the Islamic State (IS/ISIS). The radical group has also bombed the ancient Assyrian church of Qabr Shamiya in the countryside of Tel Temir. |
