Eight technicians, including five Iranian electrical engineers, have been reportedly kidnapped by unknown armed gunmen in the restive Syrian city of Homs.


The technicians have been involved in building the city's power plant over the past two years.

On December 15, Iran's Minister of Road and Urban Development Ali Nikzad announced the country's willingness to help fulfill the economic needs of Syria amid the US-led Western economic pressure on Damascus.

Homs has been the scene of recent unrest in Syria that originated in mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in favor of President Bashar al-Assad.

While the West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of violence, Damascus blames ''outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups'' for the unrest that erupted in mid-March, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.

In interviews with Israeli news outlets over the past few months, the Syrian opposition members have clearly expressed their vision for the future of Syria and their interest in establishing ties with the Tel Aviv regime.

Armed gangs have recently kidnapped many Syrian civilians and security forces in the city.

hmm, i think that this kidnapping wants to make an argument between iran and syria! i think it's not a normal kidnapping, maybe after iran made a law to start a new economic plan with syria , they want to do sth that iran cancel this law and end it's friendship with syria!(sry if had problem in my english) :)
 
It more has to do that the Syrian opposition sees Iran as an enemy since Iran is helping Assad butcher Syrians.
