An Iraqi Army soldier guards the entrance of a church in the southern city of Basra as Iraqi Christian arrive to celebrate Sunday's afternoon mess 17 September 2007. A church was targeted yesterday by a bomb in Basra. In Baghdad, Iraqi Security forces received today orders to reinforce security measures around churches and Christian cult shrines in the war-torn capital, amid uproar in the Islamic world over remarks by Pope Benedict XVI this week, implicitly criticising links between Islam and violence.
