Iraq: Seven churches bombed
On July 11 two bombs targeted churches in the cities of Baghdad and
Mosul and killed at least four people and injured 30 others, according
to VOM contacts.
Two bombs ripped through the St. Joseph church in western Baghdad at
approximately 10:00 p.m. The next afternoon, three bombs exploded
within 15 minutes of each other outside three different church
buildings in Baghdad. That evening, a car bomb detonated outside a
church building in the eastern region of the city. Minutes later,
another bomb exploded outside a church building in Baghdad’s Dora
district. Meanwhile on July 13, a car bomb detonated near Our Lady of
Fatima Church in the city of Mosul.
This is the latest attack on Christians in Iraq. The Christian
community in Iraq is estimated to be 3 percent of Iraq’s 26 million
people, or about 800,000. Since 2003, Christian leaders, churches and
businesses in Iraq have been targeted by Islamic extremists. As a
result, many believers have fled.
