Raqqa-Sana
The "Qasd" militia, backed by the American occupation, launched a new campaign of raids and kidnapped dozens of civilians in the countryside of Raqqa.
Local sources reported to SANA that “armed groups from the (Qasd) militia cordoned off the town of Mansoura and a number of villages affiliated with it in the western countryside of Raqqa, raided homes there and kidnapped dozens of young men from it to take them to their own camps and put them in its ranks to serve their agendas associated with the American occupation forces in the region." .
The militia kidnapped two young men from the village’s eastern countryside during a raids campaign carried out yesterday in the village of Al-Fatsa in the eastern countryside of Raqqa and took them to an unknown destination in an attempt to control the state of popular anger demanding its expulsion and the US occupation forces from the area.
