Two 'kidnapped' Italian women appear in video
(MENAFN- Arab News) BEIRUT: Two women identifying themselves as Italian aid workers kidnapped in Syria have appeared in a video urging their government to seek their release.
The video filmed in mid-December appeared online Wednesday night and purportedly shows Vanessa Marzullo and Greta Ramelli who were abducted by gunmen in northern Aleppo province in August.
The women both in their twenties are shown wearing black dresses and headscarves seated before a blank wall. One woman holds a piece of paper with the date Dec. 17 though the video appeared to have been posted online on Dec. 31.
The other apparently reading from a script held off camera urges the Italian government to bring them home before Christmas.
The 23-second video includes no details of which group is holding the women and no one else appears in the footage.
The posting on YouTube is titled 'Al-Nusra Front detains two Italian employees because of their government's participation in the coalition against it.'
In August the Italian Foreign Ministry denied reports that the two women were being held by the Islamic State group but gave no details on which group it believed had kidnapped the pair. They were working for the aid group Horryaty when they were abducted.
