UN migration agency chief says some religious minorities fleeing Syria

United Nations migration agency chief Amy Pope said Tuesday that tens of thousands of people, including religious minorities, had fled Syria after Islamist-led rebels ousted Bashar al-Assad.

"Tens of thousands" of people have fled Syria, and "we are hearing that especially religious minorities are leaving," Pope told AFP, noting reports that members of the Shiite Muslim community had fled "not because they're threatened, but they're concerned about the possible threat."
