A total of 26 of those injured in terrorist attacks on Baghad's Our Lady of Deliverance Church on Oct. 31 have been brought to Rome for emergency medical attention.
Rome's Gemelli Hospital admitted 17 women, seven men and three children on the evening of Nov. 12 just after their arrival by military aircraft. The 26 were met by a "multidisciplinary task force" at their disposal, according to a note from the hospital.
More than 50 people died and least at least 70 people were injured nearly a week ago when gunmen burst into Baghdad's Syrian Catholic cathedral during the celebration of the Mass. According to Vatican Radio as many as 68 people were killed by bullets and suicide bombs.
Two priests were among the dead and one was seriously injured.
