Vatican City, Sep 16, 2004 / 22:00 pm
The honorary president of Vatican Radio, Cardinal Roberto Tucci, asked the coalition forces yesterday to avoid the deaths of innocent civilians in Iraq.
The cardinal specified that his message “is directed to the coalition forces and not to the terrorists, who won’t listen to it.”
“In Israel also, it is necessary to pay more attention, during the organized attacks innocent persons are often the ones hit,” added Cardinal Tucci.
In conclusion he invited Italian Muslims to reflect on the fact that in Italy they enjoy rights and guarantees that are denied to Christians who live in countries with Muslim majorities.
