Islamic State militants have abducted at
least 90 people from Assyrian Christian villages in **rtheastern Syria, a monitoring group tracking violence in
Syria said on Tuesday. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said they carried out dawn raids on rural villages inhabited by the ancient Christian mi**rity west of Hasaka, a city mainly held by the Kurds. Syrian Kurdish militia launched two offensives against the militants in **rtheast
Syria on Sunday, helped by U.S.-led air strikes and Iraqi peshmerga. This part of
Syria borders territory controlled by
Islamic State in Iraq, where it committed atrocities last year against the Yazidi religious mi**rity.
