raq: Body of Kidnapped Catholic Archbishop Found
Thursday, March 13, 2008
BAGHDAD — The body of a Chaldean Catholic archbishop kidnapped in Iraq last month was found just outside the northern city where he was abducted, Iraqi police and a morgue official said Thursday.
Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was seized in Mosul and three of his companions were killed Feb. 29 when gunmen attacked them soon after he left mass. It was the latest violence in what church members call a series of attacks against Iraq’s small Christian community.

Five Cuban Soccer Players From Under-23 Team Missing After Florida Match
Thursday, March 13, 2008
TAMPA, Fla. — Five Cuban soccer players went missing Tuesday night after the under-23 team played a key match against the United States, a team official said Wednesday.
The missing men had not yet reported to authorities.
Zachary Mann, a spokesman for Customs and Border Protection, said it’s unlikely the agency will learn the men’s whereabouts until they come forward. The players likely would be granted political protection under the United States’ “wet foot, dry foot” policy that typically allows Cubans who reach U.S. soil to stay.
The Cuban team is in Tampa to play in qualifying games for the Beijing Olympics this August, sponsored by the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football, or CONCACAF.
A CONCACAF spokesman declined comment, saying only that the situation is under review.
