Gunman Kill Christian Woman in Her Baghdad Home
[Asharq al-Aswat] Iraqi officals say a Christian woman was killed after gunnies broke into her house in downtown Storied Baghdad.
The assault is the latest in a string of attacks on Iraq's dwindling Christian community since 68 people died in the October siege of a Storied Baghdad church.
A police official said gunnies broke into the woman's house in Storied Baghdad's Karradah district at dawn Monday.
Police said they shot the woman, who is believed to have been in her 50s, and stole cash and gold.
Police added that the incident is under investigation and is considered an armed robbery.
