ADO Condemns the Massacre of the Church of Our Lady of Deliverance in Baghdad
On Sunday October 31, 2010, a group of terrorists belonging to “the Islamic State of Iraq,” a militant terrorist organization connected to Al-Qaeda, broke into the Our Lady of Deliverance Syriac Catholic Church in Baghdad and committed an extremely savage and barbaric massacre by opening fire on the innocent hostages, who had flocked to attend the Divine Liturgy and Prayer of peace and love.
