Dozens of people, said to be Christians¹, have reportedly been abducted² by Islamic State militants³ in Syria.

据报道，叙利亚数十人被伊斯兰国激进分子绑架，据称他们都是基督徒。

The militants have reportedly overrun a string of Assyrian villages an area of northeastern Syria that borders Iraq.

Local authorities in the area are still uncertain about the details.

"Until now we haven't been able to make contact with any of the hostages. As I said, 90 to 150 people were kidnapped and two people are missing, so we think they have been killed or martyred."

The reported kidnappings come as Kurdish fighters from Syria continue to make advances in the region.

Some reports are suggesting the Islamic State is trying to use the hostages as bargaining leverage⁴ to have its fighters currently being held by the Kurdish Peshmerga released.
