Gunmen kill elderly Christian couple inside their Baghdad home
Gunmen kill elderly Christian couple inside their Baghdad home

Attackers gunned down an elderly Christian couple late Sunday inside their Baghdad home, the latest in a string of religious-rooted violence that has spurred international outcry and a full-court press for justice from Iraqi authorities.

Gunmen broke into the couple's residence in Baladiyat, a predominantly Shiite area in eastern Baghdad, during the night and shot them dead, an Iraqi Interior Ministry official said.

Hours earlier, Maj. Gen. Qassim Atta said in a press conference broadcast on state-run Iraqiya TV that 15 "Arabs" -- in Iraq, a euphemism indicating they came from outside the country -- were responsible for three deadly attacks in Baghdad in recent months, including a bloody church siege.

The spokesman for the Iraqi military command in Baghdad showed pictures of each of the men, whom he called "terrorists" and said they had entered Iraq from unidentified countries between June and August.

Here is how it will go: christians should not be there, should have known this would happen. RW will say the same thing about a muslim here that gets killed. Some will call the latter hate speech and say it promotes violence against a minority here, and the former some will say is common sense that a minority in country that does not want them should know better and they knew the risks.
