The Prime Minister of Iraq revealed that there are serious threats to the Pope’s Life by the dreaded ISIS. Habeeb Al Sadr ,Iraq’s ambassador to the Holy See issued the stark warning today after Vatican officials insisted there was no threat to his safety – and said he will not ride in the bulletproof ‘Popemobile’ of his predecessor Benedict XVI.Mr Al Sadr, told Italian paper, La Nazione:

‘Threats against the Pope are credible. Public statements and crimes against Christianity by Isis are a fact. Just put two and two together. Let me be clear, I am not aware of specific facts or operational projects. But what has been said by the self-declared “Islamic state” terrorists is clear. They want to kill the Pope….
‘I think they could try to hit him during his travels or even in Rome, because there are members of ISIS who are not Arabs but also Canadians, Americans, French, British and Italian.
‘This gang of criminals does not merely threaten. In Iraq they have violated or destroyed some of the holiest sites of Shia Islam. They have hit places of worship in the Yazidi religion and Christianity. They forced 150,00 Christians to flee Mosul.’
