MIDDLE EAST | PERSECUTION |
The general secretary of the World Council of Churches has joined peers in the Middle East in expressing concerns about the escalating rate of violence against Christians in northern Iraq, following attacks on buses carrying Christians in Mosul, in which a shopkeeper was killed, reports Ecumenical News International. "As we express our solidarity with the people of Iraq, and convey our condolences to the families of the victims, we are very concerned about the new escalation of violence against Christians in Mosul," said the Rev. Olav Fykse Tveit, general secretary of the World Council of Churches. Thousands of Christians protested in northern Iraq on 3 May about the previous day's bomb attacks on the buses, which were carrying students and workers. It is believed the explosions wounded around 200 people.
