They are looking for at least 50 suspects among the 2,000 people they estimate descended on the Church of the Good Shepherd - one has so far been arrested. Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel has spoken publicly for the first time since the incident - saying he forgives his alleged attacker, a 16 year old boy.
