On the evening of March 26, two sisters, Margaret and Fadhila Naoum, were repeatedly stabbed and strangled to death in their home. The motive for the attack is unclear, according to a March 30 report from Compass Direct. The brutal nature of the attack, however, along with no evidence of robbery, has led some to believe the attack may have religious overtones. The Christian community in Iraq is especially vulnerable to attacks.

Pray that the violence against Christians in this area with cease. Pray that believers in Iraq will set Christ apart as Lord and not be controlled by fear because of these kinds of attacks
(1 Peter 3:14-17).
