According to this article, at least three people were killed and 25 wounded after attacks Wednesday morning after attacks on Christians in Iraq. Roadside bombs are mortar fire targeted Christian homes, which were the result of the attacks.
A group called the Islamic State of Iraq claimed responsibility for an attack last month in a cathedral that left 70 people dead and 75 wounded. This group consists of several Sunni extremists and has ties to al Qaeda. Worshippers were about to begin services during this past attack when gunmen entered, took 120 people hostage. Most of the hostages were killed and at least two gunmen were wearing explosive vests which they detonated when seconds before authorities were going to raid the church.
Al Qaeda in Iraq later announced that all Christians in the Middle East are now considered legitimate targets.
