Terrorists linked to al-Qaeda have kidnapped at least 120 Kurdish civilians from a village near the Turkish border in Aleppo province, a foreign-sponsored monitoring group said.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the L
evant (ISIL) MILITANTS entered Ihras, 20 kilometers south of the border town of Azaz, and took the captives, including at least six women, to an unknown location.
The incident is the latest in a series of kidnappings and killings by ISIL this month targeting Kurds in northern Syria, where extremist and Kurdish fighters have clashed repeatedly in recent months.
Since the end of July, the ISIL and al-Nusra Front, another al-Qaeda-linked group, have kidnapped several hundred Syrian Kurds, including women and children.
On August 5, al-Nusra Front terrorists attacked the Tal Abyad district of Raqqa province in Syria, massacring 330 women and elderly men as well as 120 children.
