| 2016-04-08 |
| More than 300 employees of a cement factory have been kidnapped by the Daesh group east of Damascus, Syria's official news agency said on Thursday. Sana said "employees and executives of the Al Badia cement factory" were abducted by the militants, after local residents reported that at least 250 workers at the plant had been missing since Monday. "The company has informed the industry ministry that it hasn't been able to make contact with kidnapped individuals," Sana said. |

| #1 Missing since Monday? Not a lot of demand for cement? 300 is kind of a round number for kidnapped schoolgirls, mall shoppers and cement workers in that region isn't it? I wonder if that's a mystical number or it translates roughly from something like 'two handfuls of dozens' to mean 'a really large flock' of captives, 15 score or 4 virgin sets? |
