citing the Greek ecclesiastical news agency Romfea
and the Kurdish news agency Firat News reports that
the army of the Peoples’ militia of Western
Kurdistan have determined the identity of the abductors
who kidnapped Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Aleppo Boulos
Yagizi and Syrian Orthodox Archbishop Yohanna Ibrahim.
They are Islamists from Feteh El-Hesun, which is part of
the Syrian rebel “Liberating army”. The Kurds
surrounded the place where the abducted archbishops are
being held, and have given the militants a deadline for
the archbishop’s release. If the deadline is not
met, the Kurdish army intends to begin a military
operation against the captors.
