GUNMEN yesterday abducted the father of Syria's deputy foreign minister, the official's office said, in the latest kidnapping targeting family members of figures in President Bashar Assad's regime.
The father of Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad was seized in the village of Ghossom in the southern Daraa Province, Mekdad's office said. An official said the man is in his 80s, but he did not know his name.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but armed opposition groups in Syria have targeted top regime officials or members of their families in the past for kidnapping or assassination in the past.
Last year, rebels carried out one of the highest-profile attacks against regime officials to date, detonating a bomb inside a high-level crisis meeting that killed four key advisers, including the defense minister and Assad's brother-in-law.
