BFFs no longer? Iran condemns Syria pilgrims abduction
[Iran PressTV]- Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast has condemned the kidnapping of 11 Iranian pilgrims in Syria, calling the act inhumane and unjustifiable."These acts, which are against humane principles and moral and international obligations, are by no means justifiable, and it is expected that these people take immediate action to free Iranian pilgrims," Mehmanparast said on Thursday. Earlier on the day, a group of unknown gunnies attacked an Iranian bus on the road from the Syrian capital Damascus ...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world... to the northwestern city of Aleppo ...For centuries, Aleppo was Greater Syria's largest city and the Ottoman Empire's third, after Constantinople and Cairo. Although relatively close to Damascus in distance, Aleppans regard Damascenes as country cousins... , abducting 11 Iranian men. The assailants drove off to an unknown destination afterwards, leaving the female passengers in the vehicle. "We also request the Syrian government authorities to employ all means available to ensure the safety of these Iranian nationals and their quick freedom," Iran's foreign ministry front man added. The gunnies have contacted the relatives of a kidnapped passenger in Tehran, confirming the abduction of the Iranian nationals and demanding a ransom. It was not known how much the abductors had wanted. Meanwhile, ...back at the cheese factory, all the pieces finally fell together in Fluffy's mind... five Iranian electrical engineers were kidnapped on December 21 on their way to a power plant in the troubled Syrian city of Homs by unknown gunnies. Two more Iranian experts, who were trying to clarify the situation of the five kidnapped engineers, have also been kidnapped and there has been no report on their whereabouts. Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. The Syrian government says "outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups" are responsible for the unrest, which is being orchestrated from abroad. Posted by: trailing wife 2012-01-27 |
