Attacks on Churches in Iraq

(31 JANUARY 2006 - RV) Attacks against six churches in Iraq have heightened fears of persecution against the country's dwindling Christian community. At least three people were killed and more than 20 injured in last weekend's car bomb attacks in Baghdad and Kirkup. Melanie Rodier asked John Pontifex, head of press and information at the British charity Aid to the Church in Need, about the Christian community's reaction to the attacks.
