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.”
