Chaldean Catholic archbishop found dead in Iraq, reports say
It was the latest in a series of attacks against Iraq�s small Christian community. Monsignor Shlemon Warduni, the auxiliary bishop of Baghdad, said the church in Mosul had received a phone call from the kidnappers on Wednesday telling them the archbishop was dead. They also told church officials where they could find the body.
The Chaldean church is an Eastern-rite denomination that recognizes the authority of the pope and is aligned with Rome. The Vatican said Pope Benedict XVI was �deeply saddened� by Rahho�s death.
�We had all kept hoping and praying for his release,� said Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi. �Unfortunately the most absurd and senseless violence keeps dogging the Iraqi people, and especially the small Christian community.
Mill Site Plaza finds a buyer
The economic headlines may be depressing for a large part of the nation, but in the Mon Valley city of Clairton, business is looking up. City council recently approved a motion that will convey the city-owned abandoned Mill Site Plaza to the city's redevelopment authority, which will then sell it to Blue Mountain Equipment Rental Corp. The Uniontown-based company plans to build an 8,000-square-foot office and warehouse facility on the vacant 2.6-acre lot at the corner of Maple Avenue and Route 837. The $800,000 facility will also serve as its corporate headquarters. The target opening date is Sept. 1. The company hopes to hire, starting later this year, 15 new employees, jobs such as truck drivers, mechanics, and office workers. "There's a large talent pool of people in the Mon Valley who we want to hire,'' said Chief Executive Officer and co-owner Jim Jones.
