Syria’s external opposition, the Syrian National Council, called on rebels in Syria on Wednesday to help secure the release of 13 Lebanese Shia pilgrims abducted near the north Syrian city of Aleppo.

The 13 were among dozens of Lebanese Shia pilgrims on a bus that was stopped by armed rebels as it sought to traverse through Syria to reach Lebanon.

“The Syrian National Council condemns any kidnappings, assault or terrorizing of our Lebanese brothers, and demands their immediate release,” an SNC statement said.
