Today in Mosul , the principle of Al-Khassaniya
elementary school, Wa'ad Al-Qattan [an Assyrian Christian], was
assassinated while shopping in one of the shops of the Al-Jadeeda
Mosul quarter in the southern part of the city.
According to a Christian in the area,
the school, which is in the same neighborhood, has many Christian
students and therefore subject of Christian Religion is taught
in the school.
It is worth mentioning that in this
