Iraq: Insurgents Target Five Christian Churches By Charles Recknagel Prague, 2 August 2004 (RFE/RL) -- Iraqi bombers have hit five Christian churches in the country, killing at least 11 people. Iraqi officials say the well-coordinated attacks, timed to coincide with evening services on Sunday night, aim at further dividing Iraqis along community lines. "It was [a] very bad, very horrible situation, really very horrible moment. We tried to do everything to save lives but we still lost many and we have many injured, many of them are in very serious condition. We got news last night that one of them has died already." That is Bashar Muntiborda, the priest of one of the five Christian churches bombed in Iraq on Sunday as worshippers were crowded inside for evening services. Muntiborda is a parish priest for an Assyrian church in Baghdad. The bombers struck his church as well as those belonging to the other two major Christian denominations in Iraq -- the Armenian and Chaldean. All together, four houses of worship in Baghdad and one in the northern city of Mosul were attacked. Church members have said up to 15 people were killed in the blasts. U.S. military officials put the death toll at 10. Iraqi interim Interior Minister Falah al-Naqib today condemned the coordinated attacks as a new assault by insurgents on innocent civilians: "This is a war against Iraqis, this is a war against Iraq, and we are going to finish them." A leading Assyrian Christian community group today said it saw the attack as aimed at destabilizing the country and not being religiously motivated. Shmael N. Benjamin, an official of the Assyrian Democratic Movement, spoke to RFE/RL stringer Sami Alkhoja in Baghdad: "We exclude that the aim behind yesterday's bombing, these criminal acts, could have been religious, meaning a Muslim targeting a Christian, but what we see is targeting of the general security situation in Iraq." rferl.org
