Father Paula, priest of St. Paul church in Shubra al-Khaimah, told Copts United that 4 masked men have kidnapped thirteen year old Abanoub Ashraf, in front of the church during the Sunday Mass under gun threat.
He added that the kidnappers must know the child and his rich father as they contacted the father on his cell phone, and demanded 2 million EGP ransom in order to release his son.
