New anti-Christian bloodshed in Iraq

Violence against Christians continues in Mosul. One young man has been found dead of multiple gunshot wounds; another Christian has been released by kidnappers who held and tortured him until relatives paid a hefty ransom. Both religious extremists and organized criminals prey on the Christian minority in Mosul: a city that one official describes as “a volcano ready to explode at any moment.”
