Title: ISIS captures hundreds of Syrian cement factory workers Post by: a7mos on April 07, 2016, 11:05:26 PM ISIS captures hundreds of Syrian cement factory workers, report says
ISIS-affiliated militants captured more than 300 workers and contractors at a cement factory in Syria, state news reported Thursday. Al-Badiyeh Cement Co. said the militants were holding the workers and contractors from the plant near Damascus, according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, citing a source in Syria's Ministry of Industry. The company had not been in contact with staff as of late Thursday afternoon. Local official Nadim Kreizan told SANA that witnesses saw about 125 "abducted workers" being put on buses headed toward areas more firmly under ISIS control. Ramdi Abdulrahman, head of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told CNN that he believes 150 to 250 factory employees were missing. The factory is in Al-Dhmeir, a town 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) northeast of Damascus, the Syrian capital and the base of President Bashar al-Assad's government. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/07/middleeast/syria-war/index.html Title: Re: ISIS captures hundreds of Syrian cement factory workers Post by: d-trix on April 09, 2016, 01:09:29 AM Here is the new update: https://www.rt.com/news/338886-isis-massacre-cement-plant/ 175 workers had been killed by militants.
