ROME, June 6 (Reuters) - A Catholic priest and five young Christians have been kidnapped in Baghdad, Catholic news service AsiaNews reported on Wednesday, three days after the murder of another priest and three of his assistants in Iraq.
AsiaNews said the Chaldean Catholic priest, whom it named as Hani Abdel Ahad, was seized with the five in Suleikh, a Sunni neighbourhood in northern Baghdad. It was not immediately clear when the kidnapping took place.
The report cited unconfirmed rumours that a ransom demand had been made to the patriarch of the Chaldean church, Emmanuel Delly.
On Sunday, gunmen killed Chaldean priest Ragheed Aziz Kani and his three assistants in Iraq's northern city of Mosul. The Pope condemned the murders as "senseless killings".
