"More Christians Kidnapped, Killed in Iraq"

"Mosul, Jun. 20, 2007 (CWNews.com) - Terrorists in Iraq kidnapped 8 Christians in the Nineveh plains-- the site of a proposed "protected enclave" for the Christian minority-- the AsiaNews service reports.

"Two other Christians were killed in the city of Mosul, near the site of the June 3 murder of a Chaldean Catholic priest, Father Ragheed Ganni, and three deacons.

"The kidnapping in Nineveh occurred as a group of Christian students and teachers were returning from having taken university entrance examinations in Mosul. Their bus was surrounded by a group of cars, and armed men boarded to take away 3 students and 5 teachers.

"AsiaNews reports that police witnessed the abductions but failed to intervene. The kidnappers have not yet been identified.

"The kidnapping took place on the Ninveveh plains, in the area that has been proposed as an enclave to shelter Iraq's Christian minority. Chaldean Catholic leaders have objected to that plan, arguing that it would remove Christians from Iraqi society and make them vulnerable to concentrated attacks."
