Gunmen Kidnap Red Cross Workers in Syria
Six members of staff as well as a Red Crescent volunteer
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says gunmen have abducted six of its workers and one Red Crescent volunteer in north-west Syria.
The aid agency has had no contact with the gunmen, an ICRC spokesman says.
Earlier, Syrian state media said gunmen opened fire on Red Cross staff travelling on the Sirmin-Saraqeb road in Idlib province.

Not Reason’s problem. Those people are on their own. May the good Allah be with them.
The leader of one of the major rebel factions is a cannibal and they went in there unarmed. May kibbeh dough, pine nuts and lemon-garlic sauce go well with them.
It’s their problem because they want the gunmen to be able to come to America
