Mosul, Iraq, May 4, 2010 / 02:17 am
A Sunday terrorist attack against a column of buses taking young Christian students to Mosul killed four and injured 171, at least 17 seriously. Christians were “shocked” by the attack, warning that delayed election results have worsened security.
The Chaldean Archbishop of Mosul Emil Shimoun Nona confirmed the news to SIR on Monday.
He said the attack began with an explosion, followed by the detonation of a car bomb parked on the roadside just before the caravan entered town.
The blast was “devastating,” he added.
