This is very sad news, as you know many rebels hate Christians in Iraq, but we never expect for them to kill on the celebration of Christ's birth.  Thirty-eight people are dead after there were bombings that took their lives on Christmas Day.

May all of the victims rest in peace, we know they are in a much better place, because they died for Jesus Christ.
