Bomb attack on Iraqi Church after Easter Mass

A roadside bomb exploded near the rear entrance of a Catholic church in Baghdad after Easter Mass Sunday, wounding at least seven people. The bomb blew up outside Sacred Heart church in Baghdad's central Karrada district, shattering windows in nearby buildings and severely damaging a police pick-up truck at the church gate. The country's Christian community has been on high alert since a militant assault on a Syrian Catholic cathedral in central Baghdad last October in which 52 people died.
