Vatican Says Archbishop Kidnapped in Iraq

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Catholic archbishop of the Iraqi city of Mosul was kidnapped Monday in what the Vatican called an "act of terrorism."

Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls told Reuters the Holy See had received news of the kidnapping of Archbishop Basile Georges Casmoussa in Mosul. The spokesman demanded his immediate release but gave no details of the abduction.

"We have received news of the kidnapping of the ... Archbishop of Mosul, Basile Georges Casmoussa," Navarro-Valls said.

"The Holy See deplores this act of terrorism in the firmest manner and demands that the worthy pastor is swiftly freed unharmed to continue to carry out his ministry," the spokesman said.

According to the Vatican yearbook, Casmoussa was born in Qaraqosh, Iraq.
