A displaced Assyrian man, who had fled his hometown due to Islamic State Group (IS) attacks against Assyrian communities, takes part in a prayer at the Ibrahim-al Khalil Melkite Greek Catholic church in the Jaramana district on the outskirts of the capital Damascus on March 1, 2015. IS jihadists in Syria recently abducted at least 220 Assyrians, one the world's oldest Christian groups. Some 30,000 Assyrians lived in Syria before the start of the civil war in 2011.
