NowLebanon - Relatives of abducted pilgrims kidnap Syrian nationals, August 15 2012


A number of relatives of the eleven Shiite pilgrims kidnapped in Syria on Wednesday hijacked a van on Beirut’s airport road and kidnapped a number of Syrian workers on board, New TV reported.
Earlier in the day, eleven Lebanese Shiite pilgrims kidnapped in Syria were reportedly killed in a Syrian airstrike on the Aleppo town of Aazaz.
In May, 11 Shiite pilgrims were abducted in Syria’s Aleppo while returning from a pilgrimage in Iran.
Following the abduction, a previously unknown armed group calling itself the "Syrian Revolutionaries – Aleppo Province" said that it was holding the Shiite men, while the Free Syrian Army had repeatedly denied its involvement in the abduction.
