The mass assaults on the Christian community continue with six churches in Baghdad being bombed during the period of 24 hours. The initial bomb attack targeted St. Joseph church located in West Baghdad where two bombs planted within the church took off near 10p.m. on Saturday night, though no one was present in the church during that time.

Three bombs later blew up in 15 minute intervals starting at 4:30p.m, continuing till 4:45p.m.in the area outside the two churches in Al-Ghadeer located in East Baghdad that injured eight residents.

A car bomb then took off after 7p.m on Sunday evening outside a church in Palestine Street, East Baghdad, killing four and wounding 21 others. A bomb later exploded in a church located in a district in South Baghdad injuring three people.

All the churches that were bombed have been significantly wrecked. The close to one million Christians have taken off from Iraq in fear of extremist assaults. Since October, thousands of Iraqis have left Mosul dreading the warnings by Muslim radicals who believe in either convert or face imminent death.

In another incident, gunners armed with silencers shot down an Iraqi Christian, Nissan outside his residence in Kirkuk at 8:15 a.m., killing him instantly.
