Archbishop killed in Iraq after being kidnapped


An archbishop seized by gunmen last month in Iraq has been found dead.
The body of Paulos Faraj Rahho, the Chaldean Catholic archbishop of Mosul, was found in a shallow grave close to the city.
Pope Benedict XVI said he was profoundly moved and saddened, calling the archbishops death an act of inhuman violence.
Archbishop Rahho was kidnapped not long after he left mass in Mosul, in northern Iraq, on 29 February.
