It's more difficult to attack Iraqi Churches

so AQI attacks Iraqi Christians in their homes.

'Al Qaeda in Iraq is targeting Christians in their homes after Iraqi authorities increased protection around the minority group's churches, a U.S. commander said on Thursday.

Lieutenant General Robert Cone, the U.S. deputy commanding general for operations in Iraq, said the Sunni Islamist group seemed determined to continue attacks against Christians following a siege of a Catholic cathedral two months ago.

"Al Qaeda has shifted to try and go after the Christians where they live," Cone told Reuters in an interview.'

I think they issued a warning that the Christians in Egypt should release the prisoners they are holding.
