Iraqi Christian leaders on Monday demanded an international investigation into a fire that killed 113 people at a wedding in a predominantly Christian town last week.
One of the victims was Sheeto’s Iraqi American sister, who had traveled to Iraq from Arizona to be at the wedding. Another member of the clergy who questioned the cause of the devastating fire was Chaldean Catholic Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako, who described the fire as “the act of someone who sold his conscience and nation for a specific agenda.”
The Iraqi government declared on Sunday that the fire was “accidental, and one hundred percent an act of God.” Iraqi police arrested 14 people after the fire, including the owner of the hall and the employees who set off the fireworks. Several public officials lost their jobs, including the fire chief and the mayor of Qaraqosh, at the direction of the Iraqi central government.
