Insurgents bombed five Baghdad churches Saturday |
Insurgents bombed five Baghdad churches Saturday. A growing number of
Christians are leaving Iraq.
By Scott Peterson | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
BAGHDAD - Inside the gutted church, with the acrid scent of burning
still
thick and the crunch of charcoal under foot, Iraqi Christians baptized
Savio
Mar Georgis.
It was a moment of rebirth Sunday for an embattled congregation that
saw its
Roman Catholic church struck with explosives Saturday - one of five
Baghdad
churches damaged in predawn attacks.
"We should be strong in our hearts and work together, united," the
priest
said. "Thanks to our Muslim neighbors, who helped us. Let God protect
our
country, and let peace live in our hearts."
That is a tough message today in Iraq, where every religious and ethnic
group that makes up Iraq's complex mosaic has been targeted by suicide
bombs, assassinations, and kidnappings.
US forces and the Iraqi interim government vow to crush the insurgency
before elections in late January. Military attention is now focused on
Fallujah, which US and Iraqi officials say is a staging ground for
insurgents planning attacks and kidnappings. Peace talks broke down
over the
weekend.
US air and ground force attacks have since intensified, apparently
preparing
the ground for a future invasion of the city, where the US suspects
Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi of leading foreign fighters.
British media also reported a controversial US request to shift some
British
troops from the southern city of Basra to just south of Baghdad, so
that US
units there can enter any Fallujah offensive.
In Baghdad, the church attacks reminded Christians - just 3 percent of
the
population, with no political weight - of their increasing
vulnerability.
