Iraqi Churches Bombed


Five Christian churches were bombed in Iraq Oct. 16, the first full day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Assist News Service (ANS) reported. There were no reported casualties from the series of blasts that erupted outside five Baghdad churches in the course of an hour. At press time, no one had been blamed for the attack. This was the second coordinated attack against Christians in the predominantly Muslim country. The first series of church bombings led to Christians fleeing Iraq for relative safety in neighboring countries, ANS reported.

Since June, five Afghan Christians have been killed in separate incidents, Compass Direct reported. The first death was reported July 1 after a Taliban spokesman called Reuters news service and announced the murder of Mullah Assad Ullah. The man said Ullah’s throat was cut with a knife because he was preaching Christianity. Another Christian’s body was found Aug. 7 near his abandoned car, while three other men were stabbed or beaten to death in separate incidents in July, Compass said.

Hruday of the All India Christian Council said VHP members have threatened tribal Christians in Orissa state with the loss of government welfare benefits if they refused to convert to Hinduism, Compass said.
