text: Iraqi archbishop from Mosul kidnapped, three aides killed
  
  March 1, 2008 
  
  Archbishop Faraj-Farraj Rahhu was walking home from mass when he was seized after a shootout that took place in the eastern al-Nur district and left Rahhu's driver and two bodyguards dead, said Brigadier General Khalid Abd al-Sattar. 
  Pope Benedict XVI quickly condemned the kidnapping, calling it a "despicable" and "atrocious act which touches the whole of the church [in Iraq]". 
  Rahhu is the latest in an long line of clerics that have been kidnapped since the 2003 Iraq invasion led by the United States. Rahhu's predecessor, the Syrian-Catholic Archbishop of Mosul, Monsignor Basil Georges Casmoussa, was kidnapped in January of 2005 and was held for one day before he was released.
