30 Christian families receive threats to leave Mosul
Mosul - Iraq

ANA- Translation and Media desk
Sept. 30, 2006

An official source at the Nineveh joint co-ordination centre mentioned that 30 Christian families living in Mosul received threats of being in danger and were given 72 hours to leave. The source (asked to remain anonymous) mentioned that these threats came through cell phone text messages. The families had notified the co-ordination centre of these messages which had the same tone "to leave the city within 72 hours or be killed". He mentioned that the authorities began their investigation in order to determine those responsible for such threats.

Mosul has a Christian population of 150 thousand people and these families receive every now and then threats to leave the city which made hundreds of them to leave Mosul and Iraq.

The Christian families live in the districts of al-Nour, al-Sa'aa, al-Muthanna, and al-Arabi which are in Mosul's centre; they also inhabit the areas of Telkef, Telskuf, al-Hamadaniya, Bartilla, Ba'ashiqa, and the Plain of Nineveh outside the city.

Note: ANA - The inhabitants of the cities referred to are Assyrians.
