strongly condemned the attack on two churches in Syria on Thursday evening, calling on the Free Syrian Army to "deter hard boy groups."

"These forces of Evil harm Christians and Moslems alike and are offensive to the values on which the Syrian revolution was based," Geagea said in a released statement.

He explained: "These attacks are against the principles of freedom, pluralism, equality, democracy and tolerance."

The LF leader warned that hard boy groups are a danger to the Syrian revolution.

"We strongly urge the Syrian National Coalition and the FSA to draw an end to their dangers and stop their abuses against the revolution, Christians, Moslems and all the freemen of Syria."

Jihadist fighters linked to al-Qaeda set fire to statues and crosses inside churches in northern Syria Thursday and destroyed a cross atop the clock tower of one of them.

Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) entered the Greek Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation in the northern city of Raqa and torched the religious furnishings inside.

They did the same thing at the Armenian Catholic Church of the Martyrs, and also destroyed a cross atop its clock tower, replacing it with the ISIL flag.
