Some unidentified gunmen kidnapped around 45 people mostly women and children in Syria while they were traveling in a bus from Idlib province to Damascus, RIA Novosti reported citing Al Mayadeen TV.
A local source has confirmed the news that a bus was intercepted in Syria. The sources said that an hour after the bus left Idlib, contact with the passengers of the inner-route bus was lost approximately. According to some reports, the bus was stopped over a religious argument.
Al Joumhouria, Lebanese newspaper, reported that the latest incident was the “first of its kind” in the countryside of Idlib, where “armed groups besieged the town of Kefraya for sectarian reasons, not allowing citizens to get out of the town.”
