Attacks target Iraq's Christians, killing 5 BAGHDAD: Baghdad's Christians came under attack again yesterday when a coordinated series of roadside bombs blew up in predominantly Christian neighborhoods, killing five people. The blasts came less than two weeks after insurgents besieged a church and killed 68 people in an assault that drew international condemnation. Police said at least 11 roadside bombs went off within an hour in three predominantly Christian areas of central Baghdad. Four blasts hit houses belonging to Christians and two mortar rounds struck Christian enclaves in the southern predominantly Sunni neighborhood of Dora. Two bombs planted in deserted Christian homes in western Baghdad destroyed two houses. It was the third attack targeting Christians since the church siege on Oct 31. Late Tuesday, a series of bombs hit three empty houses belonging to Christians in western Baghdad but no one was hurt. An al-Qaida-linked group claimed responsibility for the church attack and threatened more violence against Iraq's Christian community. The threat left many Christians in the country wondering whether it was time to flee their homeland. "We were terrified by the explosions," said Juleit Hana, a 33-year-old Christian who lives in one of the neighborhoods targeted yesterday. She was having breakfast with her daughter when she heard the bombs go off. She vowed to leave the country. "It's not worth staying in a country where the government is not able to protect you even when you are sitting in your house," she said. The new attacks struck as Iraq's minority Christian community was still in shock over the massacre at Baghdad's main Catholic cathedral, Our Lady of Salvation. It was the worst attack against the Christian minority since the 2003-US led invasion that set the stage for fierce sectarian fighting between Shiite and Sunni Muslim sects, which killed tens of thousands of civilians. Church officials said yesterday that 56 Christians had died in the church massacre. Police officials said 12 others also died. Security was beefed up around churches in Baghdad after the massacre, possibly pushing the militants to seek easier targets, such as Christian homes. Layers of police protect most Shiite shrines in Iraq, and as a result, militants began targeting Shiite pilgrims on their way to visit the shrines. Sunni Islamic militants such as Al-Qaeda consider both Shiites and Christians to be nonbelievers. They have also questioned whether Iraq's Christians are loyal to Christian countries in the West or to Iraq as a way to justify their attacks. Iraq's top Catholic prelate, Chaldean Cardinal Emmanuel III Delly has encouraged the remaining 1.5 million Christians to stay in the country and called on the authorities for more protection. Catholic officials estimate that more than 1 million Christians fled Iraq since Saddam Hussein's regime fell. Amal, a 50-year-old Christian resident of eastern Baghdad who only gave her first name for fear of retribution, said the attacks won't succeed at driving Christians out. We are Iraqis and those attackers want us to leave," said Amal, a mother of four. "We've lived in Iraq for so long. It our home." The Vatican's secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, urged Iraqi authorities to seriously consider the Vatican's plea that they better protect Christians. "It's a very painful situation," the ANSA news agency quoted Bertone as saying yesterday. The Holy See recently held a meeting of Mideast bishops in Rome to discuss the plight of Christians in the region. The bishops praised those who had stayed "in times of adversity, suffering and anguish" and encouraged those who were forced to leave to one day return to their homelands. An Al-Qaeda statement has also threatened Christians across the Middle East unless Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church releases women who the terror group claims are held captive for converting to Islam. Police and hospital officials said 20 people were also wounded in yesterday's violence. It was not immediately clear how many of the casualties were Christian. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Younadem Kana, a Christian member of the Iraqi parliament, blamed security officials for failing to protect the Christians and said that yesterday's bombings exposed "grave flaws in the structure and the work of Iraq's security forces. He said attacks will continue as long as Iraq remains without a government that represents all Iraqis. The country's political leaders are to meet in Baghdad yesterday for the third consecutive day for talks focused on the formation of a new government. For the past eight months since March 7 elections, Iraqi politicians have failed to agree on a government that would include the Sunni-backed coalition led by Ayad Allawi, which narrowly defeated Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki's Shiite-dominated bloc. At stake is whether Iraq has an inclusive government of both the majority Shiites and the minority Sunnis or a Shiite-dominated government with the Sunnis largely in opposition, a recipe that many worry will turn the country back to the sectarian violence of a few years ago. -AP

i'm sorry if there is already a thread about this but nothing came up on my search:shrug: Iraqi Christians flee Baghdad after cathedral massacreUN says more than 1,000 families have left capital after 58 were killed in attack on church in October Thousands of Christians have been forced to flee in seeking refuge from militant attacks after the siege at a Catholic cathedral in October, the United Nations said today. . The UN High Commission For Refugees said at least 1,000 families had fled Baghdad and Mosul since 1 September for the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq. A further 133 families had registered with the organisation in Syria, as had 109 individuals in Jordan. Father Hanna, the leading Assyrian Catholic priest in Beirut said that 450 recently arrived families had contacted with his office and plan to ask the UN for help. The mass movement of Iraq's Christians, the remnants of which make up one of the most ancient communities in the Middle East, was sparked by the brutal siege in a Baghdad Assyrian Catholic cathedral on October 31, which left at least 58 people dead and around 100 injured. Since then, Christian families have been increasingly targeted in their homes, among them survivors of the church massacre. The violence is being driven by al-Qaida and its affiliates and is being seen as an attempt to ignite sectarian chaos after repeated attempts to lure Iraq's Shias back into battle had failed. "We have heard many accounts of people fleeing their homes after receiving direct threats. Some were able to take only a few belongings with them," the UN report said. There are thought to be around 500,000 Christians remaining in Iraq, down from 1 million when Saddam Hussein was ousted. They enjoyed protection under Saddam and have not been persecuted by the various Shia-led regimes that have ruled Iraq since. However, many Christian leaders fear that Iraq's leaders can no longer safeguard them from attacks. Many suggest that the last six weeks mark the beginning of the end of an era in Iraq that dates back almost 2,000 years. The UN described the movement as a slow but steady exodus, but Christian leaders disputed this. "I can tell you that the numbers the UN are citing are too low," said Abdullah al-Naftali, head of Iraq's Christian Endowment Group. "We have recorded a 213% increase in normal departures since the church massacre. It is not a slow, or steady exodus - it is a rapid one." The large numbers of families looking for refuge in Iraq's Kurdish north have been drawn there by the region's president, Massoud Barazani, who last month pledged to protect and shelter them. Iraq's central government has also increased security around churches and Christian enclaves. "The Iraqi government has reiterated its commitment to increase the protection of places of worship," the UN said. "While overall civilian casualties are lower this year than last, it appears that minority groups are increasingly susceptible to threats and attacks." The exodus has sparked widespread concern among Christian communities elsewhere in the Middle East, such as Lebanon and Egypt, where they enjoy freedom, but are apprehensive about declining demographic balance. "The Christians in general in the broader Middle East are not really secured and feel a kind of uncertainty all over the Islamic world," said Amin Gemayel, a former president of Lebanon and patriarch of the country's largest Christian bloc. "Unfortunately there is a kind of unconsciousness among the Muslim leaders," he said in an interview with the Guardian. "Even among the moderates we don't feel an effective reaction or see initiatives to stop this kind of behaviour," he added, referring to attacks by extremists. "This is very negative for the Muslim world. The Christians bring a lot to the region. They are eastern people with eastern feelings and eastern values." source
