Another Church Bombing Attempt Confirmed February 16 (World Watch Monitor) ? (Compass) - A New Year?s Eve attack against a Christian church was described as \"a deliberate attempt\" to kill or injure church members. The bomb device was concealed in a basket of chocolates and sent to a church in a town outside Dushanbe. When a church worker became suspicious, the basket was taken outside where it exploded. No one was injured. The attacked church is one of a handful of \"daughter churches\" begun in outlying towns of Tajikistan by the Grace Sonmin Church of Dushanbe. The mother congregation suffered a deadly October 1 bombing, which killed nine worshippers and wounded another 49 during a Sunday morning service. Two other bombings on December 31 damaged empty church buildings in the capital of this Central Asian state.NOTE TO READERS We've changed our name to World Watch Monitor, and we're building a new website, to replace Compass Direct in early 2013.
