"A series of bombings and mortar attacks targeting Christian areas has killed at least three people in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, security sources say....all Christians in the country are now a legitimate target....The Islamic State of Iraq has claimed responsibility for the (Oct. 31) cathedral attack....Christians - many from ancient denominations - have been leaving Iraq in droves since the US-led invasion in 2003, and about 600,000 remain."
