Still Missing

The Chaldean Archbishop of Mosul is still in the hands of kidnappers, who have raised their demands (AsiaNews.it, 3/4/08):

The men who have the fate of Msgr. Paulos Faraj Rahho, Chaldean Archbishop of Mosul in their hands since February 29th last, have raised the ransom and dictated “political conditions” for his release, according to AsiaNews sources in Iraq, close to mediators who are negotiating his safe return.
