Mosul(North-Iraq)- AINA — Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral of Fr. Ragheed Ganni and three deacons, Deacon Basman Joseph, Deacon Bassam and Deacon Ghassan, one day after they were gunned down in their car as they left the Holy Spirit Church after finishing evening mass (AINA 6-3-2007).

The attack on the Christian Assyrians (also known as Chaldeans and Syriacs) of Iraq is spiraling out of control and has some observers warning of an impending genocide (AINA 6-4-2007)
