American - Baghdad Jesuits

From the outside, Baghdad College seems an unlikely nursery for a would-be suicide bomber.

Established by American Jesuits in the 1930s, the school is in Shamasia, a suburb of Adhamiya, one of the oldest neighbourhoods of the Iraqi capital.

The former pupil contacted by the BBC Scotland News website said most of those who attend come from secular, modern and well-off families. The education provided is considered the best in the country with all classes, barring history and geography of the world, taught in English. Scientific subjects such as maths, physics, chemistry and biology are at the forefront of the teaching. According to the former pupil, about 85% of pupils go on to become doctors, dentists, or engineers - two of those three professions being dedicated to the care and well being of others.
