Iraqi Christian Legislature says that Iraq’s explosions on Monday targeted all the country’s components.

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: The Leader of al-Rafidain Parliament Bloc, representing Iraqi Christians in the Parliament, Younadim Kanna, has described the explosions that took place in the country on Monday as having been targeting all components of the people, saying that “a certain political agenda stood behind those explosions, at a time when the American departure from Iraq had come closer.”   Kanna told IraqiNews.com news agency that “targeting a Christian Church on northern Iraq ’s city of Kirkuk , as part of those targets, represented the targeting of Christians, being the weak part of the Iraqi people.”   “The weakness of the security bodies, especially the intelligence ones, and the postponement of the settlement of the dossier of the Security Cabinet Ministers, had been one of the main reasons for the security violation that took place on Monday,” Kanna said, calling for “necessity to strengthen the security body in Kirkuk , who is suffering from weakness as well.”   A series of explosions had rocked several Iraqi cities on Monday, being the first of their kind since more than 2 months, including Wassit, Karbala , Salahal-Din, Najaf and Kirkuk , killing over 60 people and wounding about 250 others, according to security sources.   A Kirkuk police source had reported on Monday that material losses were caused to a number of houses, surrounding a Christian, that was attacked in Kirkuk .   “An explosive charge blew off at 1:30 AM local time on Monday, behind the Christian Sirian Catholic Church in central Kirkuk , causing material damage for the Church and its surrounding houses,” the police source told IraqiNews.com news agency.   SKH (RT)   497
