Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."
A group of masked terrorists kidnapped 14 Turkish construction workers from a site in Baghdad early Wednesday.
Iraqi and Turkish officials say the gunmen stormed the complex around 3 a.m. when the workers were sleeping. They specifically targeted the Turkish workers and separated them from the others before forcing them into SUVs.
“The Iraqi authorities for the time being do not have information on how the incident occurred or who captured them,” Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told reporters.
The gunmen were reportedly wearing military uniforms.
Local officials told Time that it’s likely the kidnappings were revenge because of Turkey recently agreeing to allow the U.S. to use their bases for drone strikes against ISIS.
The workers had almost finished construction on a sports complex that includes a 30,000 seat soccer stadium.
