| Iraqi Christian leader abducted in Baghdad |
| 2005-02-14 |
| Kidnappers have abducted the head of a Christian party in Iraq (news - web sites) and are demanding the withdrawal of U.S. troops, Al Arabiya television reported on Monday. The television gave no further details. A staffer reached by telephone said the kidnapping apparently occurred as the unnamed victim was going to his party's headquarters in Baghdad. Christians form up to 3 percent of Iraq's 27 million people. Several Christian churches have been attacked during the current insurgency against the U.S.-backed government. |
