DETROIT (CNS) — A Chaldean Catholic bishop said the United States
must be held accountable for the death of Chaldean Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho of Mosul, Iraq.

Bishop Ibrahim N. Ibrahim of the Eparchy of St. Thomas
the Apostle, based in Southfield, Mich., said that particularly the
administration of U.S. President George W. Bush is responsible for the terrorism and killing of Christians in Iraq. He said the administration is ignoring the problem."
