On October 31st Al Qaeda members went to a church in Baghdad and took all church members as hostages. When the police stormed the church Al Qaeda set off 2 suicide vests killing several people inside the church. Other members killed all the hostages inside. There was a total of 58 deaths. Several more were wounded, including some going to the hospital without hands and legs. This was a christian church in Baghdad. They had wanted the release of all members of Al Qaeda in Prison.
This is a terrible thing for the simple fact that they killed everyone that they could. These people just being normal people going to christian church and then getting slaughtered. This is the stupid stuff that makes me want to join the army and go kick some ass. But in the end of the day that isnt going to help because it is a religous belief on their part. This is forcing the good people in Iraq to leave the country. I think we will be in Iraq for a long long time yet.
