美国国务院“正义奖励计划”悬赏500万美元，以获取有关伊斯兰国绑架网络或绑架5名基督教神职人员的人的信息。

Greek Orthodox Priest Maher Mahfouz and Armenian Catholic Priest Michael Kayyal were on a public bus traveling to a monastery in Kafrun, Syria on February 9, 2013. Some 30 kilometers outside of Aleppo, suspected ISIS extremists stopped the vehicle, checked passengers’ documents, then removed the two priests from the bus. They have not been seen or heard from since.

2013年2月9日，希腊东正教牧师马赫·马赫福兹和亚美尼亚天主教牧师迈克尔·卡亚勒乘坐公共汽车前往叙利亚卡夫伦的一座修道院。在阿勒颇城外约30公里处，疑似伊斯兰国极端分子拦截了这辆车，检查了乘客的证件，然后将两名牧师从大巴上带走。从那以后，他们就再也没有被看到或听到过。

On April 22, 2013, Syrian Orthodox Archbishop Gregorios Ibrahim and Greek Orthodox Archbishop Bolous Yzigia were ambushed in their vehicle by armed men at a checkpoint near al-Mansoura, Syria. The clerics’ driver was later found dead. Initially believed to have been kidnapped by persons aligned with the al-Qaida affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra Front, the archbishops were later transferred to ISIS.

2013年4月22日，叙利亚曼苏拉附近一处检查站，叙利亚东正教大主教格雷戈里奥斯·易卜拉欣和希腊东正教大主教博尔斯·伊济贾乘坐的车辆遭到武装人员伏击。牧师的司机后来被发现已死亡。最初人们认为主教们是被与基地组织分支Jabhat al-Nusra Front结盟分子绑架的，后来被转移到伊斯兰国。

On July 29, 2013, ISIS abducted Italian Jesuit Priest Paolo Dall’Oglio in Raqqah. Father Dall’Oglio had planned to meet with ISIS to ask for the release of Fathers Mahfouz and Kayyal and Archbishops Ibrahim and Yazigi. He has not been seen or heard from since.

The State Department declared that the kidnapping of religious leaders demonstrates ISIS’ ruthless tactics and approval of targeting innocent individuals. It also noted that ISIS remains a significant threat to the United States, as well as our allies and partners throughout the Middle East and around the world. The United States will continue to support our partners in efforts to defeat this threat and deny ISIS safe haven anywhere.

美国国务院宣布，对宗教领袖的绑架以及对以无辜人为目标的认可显示出伊斯兰国的残忍策略。报告还指出，伊斯兰国对美国以及我们在中东和世界各地的盟友和合作伙伴仍然构成重大威胁。美国将继续支持我们的合作伙伴，努力击败这一威胁，拒绝让伊斯兰国在任何地方藏身。
