Body of kidnapped archbishop found in Iraq
It is estimated that the violence kicked off by Bush's invasion of Iraq has displaced 400,000 of the estimated 800,000 indigenous Iraqi Christians to Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere.
"Iraq's unending violence claimed one of its most high-profile victims yesterday when a Catholic archbishop abducted last month was found dead.
It was not clear if Paulos Faraj Rahho, 65, of the Chaldean church, Iraq's largest Christian community, had died as a result of poor health or was killed by his captors. His decomposing body was discovered half-buried in a shallow grave in the northern city of Mosul. The Pope immediately condemned the death as "an act of inhuman violence that offends the dignity of the human being", the Vatican said.
"I cry for Iraq," said Shlemon Warduni, the bishop of Baghdad. "I have no other feelings. We were brothers, now we are divided." '
