Iraq boosts security after attacks
Updated on 13 July 2009
Iraqi authorities have imposed vehicle bans in two mostly Christian towns and increased security around churches in Baghdad after attacks targeting the Christian minority.
The measures followed a series of bombings in or near churches that killed at least four people on Sunday, including one that happened as worshippers were leaving Mass in eastern Baghdad.
Iraq's Christians have often been targeted by Islamic extremists, and many have fled the country despite an overall drop in violence in the past two years.
