The bombs used in the night-time attack had a delayed fuse so they penetrate the building before exploding, minimizing damage to the surrounding area, including a church, the statement said.A church??? Are there Christians in Iraq??

Christians used to be 10% of the population in Iraq 20 years ago. (Large numbers of them now live in Dearborn, Michigan among other places.) It is down to 1.5% now which still adds up to about 250,000 folks or so. Aziz is or was Christian, albeit a wayward one.

A church??? Are there Christians in Iraq??There are. In fact there is some speculation that the Pope speaks softly if at all about Saddam but never wastes an opportunity to excoriate Bush and Blair is that he is trying to keep Saddam and his thugs from turning their wrath on Iraqi Christians.

Yes, Tarik Azzize(or however the hell its spelled) is/was a Christian.

I believe 3% of Iraqi's are christian.

Yes there are Christians in Iraq, and Tariq Aziz (deputy prime minister and second vice president) claims to be one of them. He met with the Pope recently in Rome.

A church??? Are there Christians in Iraq??Sure there are! There are Chaldean Catholics, and Assyrian Christians. Assyrian Pastor, Ken Joseph went over as a 'human shield', but ended up coming back out convinced of the necessity of the war to remove Sadaam because of what he'd learned from his family members and their friends. He was appalled at what he learned about Sadaam. Made me wonder what exactly he'd been reading for the last few years that he'd be so unaware of the atrocities.

Are there Christians in Iraq?? Plenty of Christians in Northern Iraq and Baghdad. Very few in the south, which includes Basra.

Actually, 10% of the population or so is Christian. Amazing, isn't it? In fact, I thought even Aziz was Christian (at least he claimed to be...though many would argue his actions did not reflect it).
