“Terror case relies on ‘coded talk’”

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In court documents filed last week, prosecutors cite Abu-Jihaad’s “obsession with operation security,” his use of codes and his suspicion of government surveillance to “explain why there is no forensic footprint that directly links the defendant” to the leaked document.

Authorities said Abu-Jihaad spoke of “hot meals” and “cold meals” in conversations with associates to refer to intelligence that would be useful to strike American military targets.”

Car bomb explodes outside Iraqi church

By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries

MOSUL, IRAQ (ANS) — A car bomb has exploded outside a church in the Iraqi city of Mosul on Thursday, January 17, where two persons were reported to be injured.

The motor vehicle carrying the explosive device was found parked outside the Chaldean Tahira church in western Mosul’s al-Shifaa neighborhood had slightly injured a police officer and a little girl who were both wounded in the blast. No fatalities were recorded though the church building was damaged.

According to the www.christiantoday.com web site, this was the second time the church was bombed after it closed down from the first attack. Around 10 days ago, a series of coordinated bomb attacks were carried out in both Mosul and Baghdad against Christian buildings such as churches and convents, in what a Chaldean bishop had described as a planned attack to intimidate Christians into leaving the country.

This seemed to be working, according to the figures provided by Neal Youngquist, the International Services Director for Asia with Prison Fellowship International, who wrote the Christian community suffered a 50 percent decline in their population since the 1990s.

He said, “Consequently, the Christian community has decreased to some half million - a decrease of almost 50 percent since the 1990s… since June 2004 forty churches have been the targets of bomb attacks resulting in destruction, death and injury.”

The Prime Minister of Iraq, Nouri Al-Maliki, has committed his government to protect the Christian community in the war-ravaged country, reported the Christian Today web site.
