ISIS-affiliated militants captured more than 300 workers and contractors at a cement factory in Syria, state news reported Thursday.

Al-Badiyeh Cement Co. said the militants were holding the workers and contractors from the plant near Damascus, according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, citing a source in Syria's Ministry of Industry.

The company had not been in contact with staff as of late Thursday afternoon.

Local official NadimKreizan told SANA that witnesses saw about 125 "abducted workers" being put on buses headed toward areas more firmly under ISIS control.

Ramdi Abdulrahman, head of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told CNN that he believes 150 to 250 factory employees were missing.

The factory is in Al-Dhmeir, a town 48 kilometers(about 30 miles) northeast of Damascus, the Syrian capital and the base of President Bashar al-Assad's government.

مسلمانوں کے اپنے نفاق کی وجہ سے کوئی نہ کوئی مصیبت ٹوٹتی ہے اگر مسلمانوں میں اتفاق ہو تو کیا جرات کہ طالبان یا داعش پیدا ہو سکے

يہی تو۔۔۔۔۔ مسلمانوں کو فرقہ پرستی اور آپسی نفاق سے فرصت ہی نہيں ۔۔۔۔۔ انجام آپ اور ہم ديکھ ہی رہے ہيں ۔۔۔۔ ان دہشت گردوں نے بربادی مچا رکھّی ہۓ۔

بے گناه مسلمانوں (اور انکے خاندانوں) پر ظلم کے پہاڑ توڑنا حقیقی اسلامی ریاست کی خاصیت کیسے ہو سکتی ہے. داعش مسلمانوں کی نہیں بلکہ فریب خورده اور نفرت کرنے والے افراد کی جماعت ہے۔

Syria war: IS group killed 21 Christians in al-Qaryatain, says patriarch

Reports are emerging of the killing of Syrian Christians by Islamic State militants in the town of al-Qaryatain.

The town was retaken by Russian-backed Syrian forces and their allies earlier in the week.

Some 21 Christians were murdered when almost 300 Christians remained in the city after IS captured it last August, said the head of the Syrian Orthodox Church.

They included three women, Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II told the BBC.

He said some died whilst trying to escape while the others were killed for breaking the terms of their "dhimmi contracts", which require them to submit to the rule of Islam.

Despite the murders, Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II (centre) said restoring harmony among faiths remained his goal

Five more Christians are still missing, believed dead. Negotiations and the payment of ransoms have seen the remainder of the group re-join their families.

The patriarch said warnings had come that Islamic State planned to sell Christian girls into slavery.

But despite the murders, he said restoring harmony among faiths remained his goal.

"We lived this situation for centuries, we learned how to respect each other, we learned how to live with each other," said the patriarch. "We can live together again, if we are left alone by others."

The town is now utterly devastated, with street after street and building after building - including a 1,500-year-old Catholic monastery - in ruins.

IS setbacks
