Metropolitans Paul Yazigy (Greek Orthodox) and Youhanna Ibrahim (Syrian Orthodox) of Aleppo were abducted by Syrian rebels after their driver (a deacon) was killed. The two hierarchs were trying to release two kidnapped priests, and the rebels finally agreed to do so only if the money was handed over by them personally. The kidnapped priests Isaac Mahfood (Greek Orthodox) and Michael Kayyal (Armenian Catholic) were kidnapped four months ago. The support for these terrorists must stop! Our nation has enough blood on its hands! May God have mercy on us all!
