Bombs Planted in Confessional Box of Syrian Church
In one of the few Syrian cities where the Christian and Muslim communities have stood up to the influence of extremist ideology, attempts are still being made to drive out the Christian community. Patriarch Gregorios, Syria’s most senior Christian leader, told of how earlier this week two bombs were discovered inside the confessional boxes in one of the world’s oldest churches, located in Yabroud, Syria. The threat of extremists is a danger for all Syrians, and Christians will be at the top of the list if they were to take full control.
