Aleppo Archdiocese: No News on Kidnapped Syria Bishops
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Aleppo's Greek Orthodox archdiocese said Wednesday it had no news on two Orthodox bishops kidnapped in Syria, a day after a Christian association said the two men had been released.
"We have no new information," Ghassan Ward, a priest at the archdiocese, told Agence France Presse.
"We can say that they haven't been freed," he added of Greek Orthodox Bishop Boulos Yaziji and Syriac Orthodox Bishop Yohanna Ibrahim.
The French "Oeuvre d'Orient" association said Tuesday that the two, who were seized on Monday, were already at Saint Elias cathedral in Aleppo.
The Paris-based association, which works to help Middle Eastern Christians, said it was "delighted by the rapid liberation of the two bishops.”

I thought the FSA-Al Qaeda terrorists want a secular democracy? Or are the "kaffer" Christian bishops not secular enough?

Naharnet, The Daily Star, MTV and LBC all were premature in issuing the story about the release of the Bishops. It is especially disappointing that news organization in Lebanon were perpetuating these false stories and quoting some phony nonexistent Greek Orthodox Bishop, Tony Yazigi.
No excuse for Lebanese news services to not have verified the information given the broad access and availability of Greek Orthodox Hierarchs and institutions in Lebanon. Especially, you propogandist at Nahar who have Orthodox roots.
The people expect more and deserve more!
