Archbishop in Iraq 'found dead'
BBC breaking news graphic
Paulos Faraj Rahho, the Chaldean Catholic archbishop in Iraq who was kidnapped last month, has been found dead, according to reports.

The Italian Catholic news agency SIR quoted an Iraqi bishop, saying that the archbishop's body had been found buried near Mosul, where he had been abducted.

Pope Benedict XVI was said to be profoundly moved and saddened by his death, Reuters reported.

The archbishop was kidnapped soon after he left Mass in Mosul on 29 February.
