VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Iraqi Catholic archbishop of Mosul who was kidnapped at gunpoint Monday has been freed, the Misna Italian missionary agency reported on Tuesday.
Misna said it had been told of the liberation of Archbishop Basile Georges Casmoussa by Monsignor Petros Mouch, the vicar-general of the archdiocese of Mosul. He told the agency that no ransom had been paid.
