BAGHDAD, Iraq, APRIL 26, 2004 (Zenit.org).- A bishop of the Chaldean Patriarchate here appealed to the countries of the coalition not to follow Spain's decision to leave Iraq, saying the country's security would be jeopardized.

"We were against the war from the beginning, but now it is important that the foreign contingents stay in Iraq," Bishop Shlemon Warduni said in statements Sunday to the Italian newspaper Il Corriere della Sera.

"If they abandon us, it will be worse," he said. "It would be a catastrophe if Rome followed the bad example of Madrid."
