Al-Qaeda Kidnaps Italian Priest in Syria
TEHRAN (FNA)- Al Qaeda-linked terrorists in the Eastern Syrian city of Raqqa abducted a prominent Italian Jesuit priest.
The terrorist group's members kidnapped father Paolo Dall'Oglio on Monday while he was walking in the city, which had fallen under the control of militant extremist brigades, the sources in Raqqa province told Reuters.
The unrest in Syria started in March 2011, when pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following intervention of western and regional states.
Many Syrians who sided with the opposition at start of the protests have now turned to side with the government and the army to defend their country against foreign-backed extremists.
