Beijing is attempting to verify reports that a Chinese citizen has been taken hostage by the Islamic State extremist group, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said on Thursday.

"We have taken note of the reports and are still trying to check this out," Hong said at a daily news conference in Beijing.

He reaffirmed the Chinese government's strong opposition to any violent attacks targeting innocent civilians.
