 Christian churches under attack in wave of Iraqi violence

BAGHDAD : At least six bombs exploded during evening prayers at churches in Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul in what appeared to be a targeted assault on Iraq's small but influential Christian minority, police said.

Police and medical workers confirmed at least six people were killed, and dozens were injured.

The wave of bombings marked the first attacks specifically aimed at Christians since the US-led invasion last year.

"It's a crime. It's Sunday, we were at mass. There were a lot of women and children," said Bishop Raphael Kutami at the Syriac church in Baghdad.

"There are so many injured and we don't know how many. We were coming out of the church" when the bomb exploded, said another priest at the same church.
