This is only a week after the Franciscan Father Dhiya Azziz was kidnapped and a week later released.
Agenzia Fides: Since last Sunday no one is able to get in contact with Greek-Melkite priest Antoine Boutros and with Al-Said Abdun, who was driving him from the city of Shahba to Sama Hinadat, where father Antoine was supposed to celebrate Sunday Mass. The news of their disappearance was released by Assyrian organizations, commited to human rights. The circumstances and the reasons for their disappearance remain unknown, but sources consulted by Agenzia Fides believe that the two were abducted by a gang of criminals or jihadist formations operating in the area. More on this here.
