In Iraq, gunmen killed Rayan Nafei Jamooa on 10.09.08 - just two weeks after his father, Nassar Jamooa, was killed four days after he was abducted.
In Iraq, Christians are often kidnapped for a number of reasons, both monetary and religious. Nassar's kidnappers did not ask for ransom, according to Pastor Bashar Warda, Dean of St. Peter's Seminary in Ankawa.
In February this year, an armed militia kidnapped the Chaldean Archbishop of Mosul, Paulus Rahho, for a ransom of USD 2.5 million (DKK 12.6 million) and demanded that the Christians attack the American soldiers. The archbishop was killed 13.03.08.
