Anglican Leader Urges Biblical Calm As Dozens Are Killed In Syria, Iraq

From Iraq-

An influential Anglican leader in Iraq said Saturday, August 24, he was thinking of the Bible's warning not to be alarmed amid warfare as dozens of people were killed nearby in the capital Baghdad, while neighboring Syria was rocked by apparently new chemical weapons attack revelations.

Canon Andrew White, who leads St. George's Anglican Church in Baghdad, also said he was not surprised that that scores had died in an apparent chemical weapons attack in neighboring Syria.

Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said Saturday, August 24, that hospitals it supports in Syria treated some 3,600 patients with "neurotoxic symptoms", of whom 355 had died.

MSF's disclosure added to mounting concerns that chemical weapons were used in suburbs to the east of Damascus on August 21.

However, "Over ten years ago we knew that Iraq's chemical weapons had been sent to Syria and knew who had flown them," said White, who has been negotiating with governments and other factions in the region in turbulent times.
