CPT and MCC workers leave Iraq for Jordan

Print Article Email to a Friend

CHICAGO and AKRON, Pa.—Christian Peacemaker Teams’ Iraq team and the CPT delegation left Iraq April 14 on the advice of their Iraqi co-workers. Both team and delegation are in Amman, Jordan.

The aggressive actions of the U.S. and Coalition Forces throughout Iraq and especially in Fallujah have created widespread suspicion and fear of the intentions of these foreign armies, reports CPT.  This suspicion puts all internationals at risk.

Also in Amman is Peter Dula, Mennonite Central Committee’s worker in Iraq. He will remain there while MCC administrators assess the security situation in Iraq. Dula, most recently of Durham, N.C., hopes to return to Baghdad, where he teaches seminary students at Babel College of Philosophy and Theology.—CPT and MCC News Service
