The Kidnapping of Fr. Sami Abd-Ahad

UPDATE Dec. 11, 2006
The kidnappers released Fr. Sami on Sunday. Thanks God he returned safely to his family, friend and parish.



ORIGINAL POST Dec. 6, 2006
There's been another kidnapping of a Chaldean priest in Baghdad. He's the sixth priest to be kidnapped in the latest wave of terrorizing the Iraqi Christian community.

Fr. Sami was kidnapped after leaving his home to go to church two days ago. Patriarch of the Chaldean Church Emmanuel III Delly has pleaded for his safe return in an open letter to his kidnappers.

I'll keep you unpdated on Fr. Sami's status. Please, keep him and all the innocent Iraqis in your prayers.
