The International Catholic aid agency Aid to the Church in Need announced on Tuesday that Christians are increasingly becoming the target of terrorist attacks in Iraq.
On Sunday, nine young Christians were murdered in Baghdad as they were returning home from their work at a leisure club.
The information was given to the German organization based in Königstein, near Frankfurt by a “direct contact with Church circles in Baghdad.”
The victims were three brothers of one family and two brothers of a second family, together with four of their friends. All nine are members of the Chaldean Catholic Church.
