Syrian rebel soldiers kidnap 2 priests
CWN - February 15, 2013
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.
