Muslim Terrorists in Syria Capture 40 UN Peace Keepers



[From article]
Syrian militants have reportedly captured more than 40 United Nations peacekeepers during skirmishes on the Israeli border.
Forty-seven soldiers from the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) are understood to have been abducted during clashes in the Golan Heights area between Syrian government forces and militants fighting with the Al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda linked group.
Details of the abduction, which took place during fighting on Thursday, remain unclear but it is understood that some of the troops who have been kidnapped include soldiers from the Philippines.
The UN peacekeeping mission was set up in 1974 to attempt to enforce a truce between Syria and Israel, which took the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967.
