They hate you because of me - AsiaNews.it reported on the 16th that this past Saturday five bombs were exploded upon five churches across the capital city of Baghdad.
A string of bombs exploded at five churches across Baghdad early Saturday though no casualties have been reported, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said.
The explosions rang out in quick succession over an hour and half starting at 4:00 am (0100GMT) at St. Joseph Church in the Nafaq Al-Shurta area, said ministry spokesman Col. Adnan Abdul-Rahman.
The other churches hit were St. Jacob's Church and St. George's Church in the Doura neighborhood, the Church of Rome in the Karrada neighborhood and St. Thomas Church in the Mansour area. Abdul-Rahman said the churches all had some exterior damage, with windows blown out.
It looks like another coordinated attack upon our Christian brothers and sisters in this liberated country struggling towards freedom. Pray for their protection. Pray for the protection of the soldiers serving there. Pray that the country find and embrace freedom.
