26 people were killed and 38 wounded when a car bomb exploded near St. Johns' Roman Catholic Church in a southern neighborhood of Baghdad.
The bomb detonated at the end of Christmas prayers as worshipers were leaving the church.
The victims included women and children.
A few minutes before the church bombing, and barely half a mile away, a series of three other explosions in a market in an Assyrian Christian neighborhood left 11 people dead.
