Mosul, Feb. 29, 2008 – The Chaldean Catholic Bishop of Mosul, Iraq, has been abducted, the AsiaNews service reports.

A Church spokesman in Iraq confirmed that the bishop was in the custody of his kidnappers, who had contacted the Chaldean Church to make a ransom demand. Iraqi Catholics did not know whether or not the bishop had been wounded in the attack.
