Two Syrian Orthodox bishops remain missing two days after being kidnapped, with each side in the civil war blaming others for the snatching.The whereabouts of the two prominent clergymen, Greek Orthodox Bishop Paul Yazigi and Syriac Orthodox Bishop John Ibrahim, remain unknown, despite some reports to the contrary.There have been several kidnappings of Christian clergymen in Syria but the two bishops are the most senior church figures who have been abducted since the beginning of the uprising.The opposition and the government each blame others for the kidnapping. Another bishop tells the Vatican news service that money, not politics, is the motivation. I hope they find the bishops and they are not harmed.

It is weird that the government is blamed. Who knows what is going on over there.
