Auxiliary Bishop Shlemon Warduni of Baghdad revealed yesterday that the offices of the Chaldean Patriarchate in the Iraqi capital were damaged by the terrorist attacks on Tuesday that left 127 dead and 500 wounded. According to the SIR news agency, the bishop noted that “fortunately only the buildings were damaged.
The sisters and the Patriarch were not present at the time of the explosion.
They had left to celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Conception.
“Doors, windows, window panes were all blown out, and the walls were also damaged,” he added.
Bishop Warduni said Baghdad residents are convinced that those behind the attacks are linked to political groups.
“What is left now is the great desperation, pain and suffering of death that haunts our people,” the prelate concluded.
