"Terrorists intercepted the bishops' car in Kafr Dael village, took the driver out of the car and kidnapped the bishops," it added.

جماعة مجهولة تخطف حبرَين جليلين

نقلاً عن دوائر الاعلام في هيئة الامم المتحدة وسانا التي جاءت بالخبر المؤسف عن اختطاف حبرَين جليلَين قرب مدينة حلب في سوريا اللذَين كانا يقومان بمهمة انسانية وهما نيافة الحبر الجليل مار غريغوريوس يوحنا ابراهيم وسيادة مار بولس يازجي للروم الارثوذكس وخلاله قُتل سائق سيارة المطران مار يوحنا ابراهيم. وعلى الاثر فرَّ الخاطفون مع المخطوفين الى جهة مجهولة، وتُبذل الان المساعي الحثيثة من كل الاطراف للإفراج عن المطرانَين الجليلَين واللذَين ترافقهما صلوات كل المؤمنين في العالم المسيحي عامةً والسرياني خاصة. أعادهما الرب الى كنيسته المقدسة وحماهما من كل أذية.

وقد استنكر قداسة سيدنا البطريرك المعظم مار إغناطيوس زكا الأول عيواص الكلي الطوبى هذا العمل اللاإنساني، ورفع قداسته الصلاة من أجل سلامة المطرانين الجليلين، وطلب من جميع أبناء الكنيسة إيقاد الشموع وإقامة الصلوات من أجل جميع المخطوفين، وعلى نية الأمن والسلام في سورية الحبيبة.
