Kidnapovani biskupi (vladike?) Siriske Pravoslavne i Grcke Pravoslavne crkve, iako se jos ne zna od strane koga.

Kidnapovani su na pobunjenickoj teritoriji gde su i radili, navodno na humanitarnoj pomoci.
A Syriac member of the opposition Syrian National Coalition, Abdulahad Steifo, said the men had been kidnapped on the road to Aleppo from the rebel-held Bab al Hawa crossing with Turkey.
Ibrahim, who is familiar with the route and had crossed there several times before, had gone to collect Yazigi and the two men were driving to Aleppo when they were kidnapped, Steifo said.
Asked who had kidnapped them, Steifo said: "All probabilities are open."

Na TV-u sam jutros cuo da je ubijen njihov vozac, isto tako pop.
Koliko sam shvatio suradjivali su sa pobunjenicima ali pre svega brinuci se o hriscanima na pobunjenickoj teritoriji.
EDIT:
OK, kidnapovani su na vracanju iz Turske preko granicnog prelaza pod kontrolom pobunjenika.
Ima spekulacija da ih je kidnapovala grupa Cecena ali nista konkretno.

Rebel fighter Siraj, who only uses one name to protect his family still in Damascus, understands that reluctance. Something has happened over the course of the war that corrupted even the most upright of leaders, he says. Once he defected from the Syrian Army in early 2012, he quickly climbed the ranks of a well-regarded rebel brigade fighting near Homs. But he was blinded in one eye in the battle of Baba Amr and escaped to Lebanon for surgery.
When he returned to Syria a few months later, he was shocked by the levels of corruption and thievery within the ranks of his own brigade. The weapons he arranged to have smuggled over the border from Lebanon had been sold off for cash, and comrades who once winced at firing a gun now relished in the kill. Acts of battlefield barbarity had become commonplace. He saw corpses mutilated and watched opposition fighters steal from the populations they were supposed to be defending. “I started thinking, ‘Why am I in this fight?’ I sacrificed my life, my sight, my education because I thought I was on the right side. But the way they were behaving, they made me think this side isn’t so good either.”
Disillusioned, Siraj joined a Salafist brigade near Damascus similar to Jabhat al-Nusra. Al-Nusra stands out for its designation as a terrorist group, but there are many fighting brigades in Syria that share its jihadi ethics and prowess on the battlefield. They may not have formally joined al-Qaeda, but they do not disguise their admiration for the global terrorist organization. Siraj’s experience with the jihadis gave him pause. He appreciated their discipline and ironclad rules — no stealing, no killing of women and children, and no raping. But he soon realized that the group, largely made up of foreign fighters, had a different vision for his country. “They saw another Syria,” says Siraj. “A land for fighters, a place for guns, for training, where there is no law and no government. They wanted to make Syria a land of jihad. And I thought, ‘What about our revolution?’” So he left, eventually ending up in an apartment where he lives with other refugees of the Syrian war.
Now he sits on the sidelines, a haggard 27-year-old who obsessively monitors every dispatch from his friends on the front, even as he comes to the conclusion that no side is the right side, and that the only victor in this war will be the monsters created by violence. “We all started as freedom fighters, but now there are just opportunists left.”
