The Sheikh Ali Deeb Abu Rami and his wife, members of the Alawite community from the village of Dneiba in the Salamiyah countryside, were abducted yesterday by unknown assailants after a raid on their village. Their bodies were discovered today on a side road near the neighboring village of Seneida, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
