“U.S. Embassy Baghdad and the Multi-National Force-Iraq Statement on the Murder of the Chaldean Catholic Archbishop, Paulo Faraj Rahho”
STATEMENT: “The U.S Embassy in Baghdad and Multi-National Force-Iraq strongly condemn the kidnapping and death of Chaldean Catholic Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho. Archbishop Rahho was abducted on February 29 after celebrating Mass at a church in Mosul; church leaders have now confirmed his death. His demise at the hands of al-Qaeda in Iraq is one more savage attempt by a barbaric enemy to sow strife and discord in Iraq.
We express our deepest condolences to the Archbishop’s family, to the members of his community, and to all citizens of Iraq. We will continue to work with the Iraqi government to help bring to justice the perpetrators of this brutal crime and to help protect all Iraqis, regardless of their religious affiliation.”
