A PLEA for help from Canon Andrew White, known as the vicar of Baghdad, warned of the worst crisis since the 2003 war as terrorist group ISIS marched toward Baghdad this week. The president of the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East said: "Things are so bad now in Iraq, the worst they have ever been. Islamic terrorists have taken control of the whole of Mosul, which is Nineveh, the main Christian stronghold. "The army has fled. ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Group), a group that does not even see Al Qaeda as extreme enough, has moved into Mosul. It has totally taken control, destroyed all government departments and allowed all prisoners out of prisons as well as killed countless numbers of people. "There are bodies all over the streets."
