No wonder the pope is deploring the lack of protection for Christians in Mid-East. This is now the second time that security forces have failed in Moslem countries and left large crowds of Christian unprotected at a holy day Mass. In Baghdad, they showed up hours late; New Years Even night, in Alexandria, they left their post (all but four) before the Mass was over.
Assyrian National News Agency: The car explosion that went off in front of Saints Coptic Orthodox Church in Alexandria killed 21 and injured 96 parishioners who were attending a New Year’s Eve Mass. According to church officials and eyewitnesses, there are many more victims that are still unidentified and whose body parts were strewn all over the street outside the church. The body parts were covered with newspapers until they were brought inside the church after some Muslims started stepping on them and chanting Jihadi chants. More of this report is here.
