Pope urges release of two kidnapped priests

Pope Benedict appealed yesterday for the release of two Catholic priests kidnapped in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

The Pontiff told pilgrims at his weekly Angelus address in St Peter?s Square that two priests of the Syrian Catholic Church had been taken ?and are now threatened with death?.

?I appeal to the kidnappers to release these two priests quickly and I underline once again that violence cannot bring relief to this tense situation,? said the Pope.
