On 26 February 2015 The Associated Press reported: The number of Christians abducted by the Islamic State group in northeastern Syria has risen to 220 in the past three days, as militants round up more hostages from a chain of villages along a strategic river, activists said Thursday. This week's abductions of the Christian Assyrians in northeastern Syria is one of the largest hostage-takings by the Islamic State since their blitz last year that captured large swaths of both Syria and Iraq last year. The fate of the captives was not known. The mass abduction added to fears among religious minorities in both Syria and Iraq, who have been repeatedly targeted by the Islamic State group. The Assyrians are indigenous Christian people who trace their roots back to some of the ancient Mesopotamians -- the ancient Assyrians whose artifacts the Islamic State is now destroying in Iraq. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern world peace and culture systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
