Islamic State militants have abducted at least 70 Assyrian Christians after overrunning several small villages in northeast Syria, two activist groups said Tuesday.
Around dawn Monday, the extremist fighters swept through the Assyrian villages nestled along the banks of the Khabur River near the town of Tal Tamr in Hassakeh province. Sky News reported that control of the region is split between ISIS and opposing Kurdish fighters.
In the assault, the militants took between 70 and 100 Assyrians captive, said Nuri Kino, the head of the activist group A Demand For Action that focuses on religious minorities in the Middle East. Kino said his organization based its information on conversations with villagers who fled the onslaught and their relatives.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported the abductions, but put the number of Assyrians held by ISIS at 90. The Observatory relies on a network of activists inside Syria.

Jesus said that we should turn the other cheek and love our enemies. It is quite literally the most important thing that he came to teach us. However, you people are more concerned with stopping gar marriage.
3:29 what does anything you just rambled have to do with a group of radical muslims which would love nothing more than to chop you and your families heads off like you cut your lawn? I don't think even Jesus would turn the other cheek, he would be looking at his headless body with this group!
Liberal ivite to ur house IDIOT.
Not to worry, Christian Crusader Hussein Obama has tweeted to ISIS that they better stop beheadings and burnings or else!
