Gaza: Bomb explodes at Christian school
 From The Jerusalem Post
Unknown assailants detonated a bomb outside a Christian school in Gaza City before dawn Friday, causing no injuries.
The powerful explosion was heard in surrounding neighborhoods at around 4 a.m. Damage was visible at the entrance to the Zahwa Rosary School, which is run by Catholic nuns but caters mainly to Muslim students.
Police officials from Hamas said they were looking into the incident. A school official declined to comment.
The bombing was the latest in a string of attacks on Christian institutions in the overwhelmingly Muslim territory. In the most serious attack, a local Christian activist was murdered in October. His killers have not been found.
Friday's bombing was not the first attack on the school run by the Rosary Sisters. The school was ransacked in June, 2007, along with the nuns' adjacent convent, during a week of intense fighting that ended with Hamas' seizure of power. Posted on 2:41 AM by Esmerelda Weatherwax

And what if I may be so bold as to inquire were the good sisters doing teaching mainly muslim students? No good can come of that as you can plainly see. |
