Islamic State Kidnaps At Least 90 Christins In Northeastern Syria

The Islamic State militants have abducted not less than 90 people from
Assyrian Christian villages in northeastern Syria, a monitor that
tracks violence in Syria told Reuterson Tuesday.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the
abductions took place after dawn raids in villages inhabited by the
ancient Christian minority near the town of Tel Tamr, a mainly
Assyrian town, in the western countryside of the city of Hasaka, a
city mainly held by the Kurds.

The latest offensive coincides with a push by Syrian Kurds in
northeastern Syria near the Iraqi border since Sunday that had
compounded losses for the militant group in Syria.
