(Sky News) Baghdad Hits Crisis Point Amid ISIS Threat; Andrew White quoted

Canon White, the vicar of St George’s Church – the only Anglican church in Iraq – said civilians were being killed by coalition air raids in Iraq.

He said: “I’ve never known the city like it is at the moment.

“We are at a crisis point. People know IS are coming nearer. People are being killed by the (air) attacks of the coalition.”
