From Zenit:
Bishops of Iraq are appealing to their brothers in France to "stay with us," affirming that prayer and fraternal support are more necessary than ever.
The Iraqi appeal comes in the wake of anti-Christian attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday that closely followed an Oct. 31 massacre that killed 58 in Baghdad's Syrian Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of Salvation. http://www.zenit.org/rssenglish-30931
