Pope Francis concluded on Monday the first-ever papal trip to Iraq, which went off without a hitch despite security worries and a second wave of coronavirus cases in the country.
Iraq said Saturday that restrictions imposed by the government to curb the spread of coronavirus will not affect Pope Francis’ visit to the country on March 5.
France, Germany, Italy, Britain and the United States on Wednesday condemned "in the strongest terms" a rocket attack on an airbase in Iraq's Kurdistan region that killed a foreign contractor.
