People gather at the scene of a bomb attack in Baghdad, 10 Nov 2010 Iraqi Christians are coming under fire in a new string of attacks that has killed at least three people and wounded at least 26.
Iraq's Interior Ministry says militants unleashed a series of bomb and mortar attacks on several Christian neighborhoods across Baghdad. Officials say most of the attacks took place within a two-hour period early Wednesday but that some attacks took place late Tuesday.
The attack comes just 10 days after a brutal militant assault on the Our Lady of Salvation church in the Iraqi capital lead to the deaths of 58 people, including at least one priest.
An al-Qaida-linked group - Islamic State of Iraq - claimed responsibility for that incident and has been threatening additional attacks against Christians in Iraq.
More than 30 survivors of the attack on the Our Lady of Salvation church have been flown to France for medical treatment.
French officials say the survivors will be able to seek asylum.
Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
