Operations against IS in Iraq "came very late, too late," said Baghdad Auxiliary bishop Schlemon Warduni. Saying that the IS group was **t a major threat only a few months ago, he told AFP: "It would have been very easy, but the international community was in a very deep slumber." "We want intervention, but it must be rapid and united, Europe and America together," he said, speaking on the sidelines of an international meeting at the Vatican of the Catholic charity Caritas. "Where is the UN, Europe, the European Parliament?" he asked, calling on Europe to "quickly exert pressure to liberate our villages".
