Baghdad church hostage drama ends in bloodbath

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 9, 2010 -- Iraqi officials said on Monday that 47 people died including a priest when Iraqi security forces stormed a Baghdad church on where militants had taken an entire congregation hostage the previous night.

It was not immediately clear whether the hostages died at the hands of the attackers or during the rescue late on Sunday night in an affluent neighbourhood of the capital.

The incident began when militants wearing suicide vests and armed with grenades attacked the Iraqi stock exchange at dusk Sunday before turning their attention to the nearby Our Lady of Deliverance church - one of Baghdad's main Catholic places of worship - taking about 120 Christians hostage.
