Catholic Bishop Luigi Padovese Assassinated in Southern Turkey - International - Catholic Online

ANKARA, Turkey (AsiaNews) - Mgr Luigi Padovese, bishop of Iskenderun, in Anatolia, was killed today around 1 pm. A priest friend had just met and spoken to him right after 12 o'clock.

The prelate's driver and aide, a Muslim who had worked for the prelate for some time, is thought to have attacked the bishop with a knife. Eyewitnesses said that the driver appeared "depressed, violent and threatening" in recent days.

Mgr Padovese, 63, was appointed Apostolic Vicar to Anatolia in 2004. Currently, he was the president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Turkey.
