Bomb blasts rock churches

Bombs damaged two more churches in the impoverished Central Asian country of Tajikistan, where another church bombing in October killed seven people in October, the Associated Press reported on Monday. Although no injuries were reported, an official from the interior ministry said one bomb on Sunday evening destroyed two auxiliary buildings at the Orthodox Church St. Nicholas in the capital, Dushanbe, while another destroyed windows at a Seventh-Day Adventist church, the report said. Sunday's attack comes in the wake of a more deadly bombing at a Korean Christian mission in October which killed seven and injured 50. Predominately Muslim Tajikistan is still recovering from a 1992-97 violent civil war between the government and its largely Islamic opposition.
