al Qaeda Attacks Church

For reasons yet to be made clear - a group of muslim extremists attack a Church in Baghdad.  While Churches within Baghdad have been fairly well protected by police in general, this one suffered.  The Islamic State of Iraq  claims responsibility for the attack. The al Qaeda group in Iraq, said it would "exterminate Iraqi Christians" if Muslim women in Egypt  were not freed.  You can get the whole story here: http://www.latimes.com/news/la-fgw-iraq-church-attack-20101101,0,5355537.story?track=rss

At least 52 were killed including 10 police, and 67 were wounded.  It is unknown how many of the Christians were killed by the terrorists and how many were killed by the police in the rescue attempt.

It is a shame this kind of "news" gets little attention.

Whatever you do - be safe!
