‘[The persecution] began in a bakery’, recalled one woman. Two of her brothers were queueing to buy bread when they were killed in a drive-by shooting. The terrorists were from the Jabat al-Nusra rebel group. They drove on to a village nearby, shooting and plundering as they went. The terrorists entered every home, gathered the Christians together and told them to leave and never come back, or they would be killed and their children raped.
