Iraqi Christian targeted

April 05, 2008

The priest, Adel Yousif, was gunned down near his home in central Baghdad's prosperous Karrada district in the latest attack on Christians in the country. Iraq's Christian minority has mainly tried to avoid being dragged into the sectarian violence but churches and Christian clergy have been targeted, especially in Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul.
