Via NRO's the Corner, the Chaldeans online reports on the death by beheading of a 71 year old Christian nun. See Biography of the latest Iraqi Christian martyr; Sister Cecilia Hanna 1931-2002

The historical information is entirely new to me, frankly. The throw-away line on the "misnamed Armenian Genocide" comes as a surprise to me. Fresno is one of the major sites of Armenian population in the world, and the Armenian Genocide is an authentic issue here. Perhaps the Chaldean Christians view the Genocide as a broader anti-Christian persecution. Also there is no information about the reasons for the muder of this nun; although it's hard to fathom what she could have been doing apart from practicing her faith.
