Christian Peacemaker Makes Final Journey Home from Iraq

U.S. Christian Peacemaker Tom Fox, who was found killed by his hostage takers in Iraq last week, is making his final journey home to the U.S.

The body of the 54-year-old, who was taken hostage along with retired British professor Norman Kember, and two Canadians, James Loney and Harmeet Sooden, last November, departed from Anaconda military base at Balat, Iraq, at dawn on March 13.

He is expected to arrive at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware at 1am EST on March 14, according to a CPT report reproduced by Ekklesia.

Beth Pyles, a member of the CPT Iraq team, travelled to Anaconda where she kept vigil with Tom for 36 hours until his departure Monday.
