Father Paolo Dall'Oglio executed by cannibals in Syria?


International Business Times is reporting that  the Jesuit missionary has been murdered by his abductors.  I am sure McCain and his cronies are gloating over this latest atrocity at the hands of those they intend bringing to power in Syria.   Bear in mind that this could be propaganda from the pro-Assadists.  The truth takes longer to be verified. 

.....  A Jesuit missionary who was abducted    in northeastern Syria in July has been killed, according to one of the country's most prominent rebel activists.

Lama al-Atassi, secretary general for the Syrian National Front, wrote on her Facebook page that Italian priest Paolo Dall'Oglio, 59, has been executed.

"It's with deep sorrow that I inform you that I was told by a reliable source that father Paolo has been executed. May God have mercy of his soul," she wrote.

The Italian foreign ministry said it has no intelligence to confirm the claim.

"The information must be handled with extreme caution and has not been confirmed yet," a spokesperson for the Farnesina Palace said.

Also the Vatican said it hasn't "any information on the matter".

Rome native Dall'Oglio, 59, vanished in the rebel-held northern city of ar-Raqqah on July 29.
He was reportedly taken hostage by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), a jihadist group closely connected with the better-known Islamist al-Nusra Front.
The Jesuit clergyman had gone to negotiate the release of some hostages and a truce between Islamist rebels and local Kurds at ISIS headquarters in ar-Raqqah.........
