Assailants set off bomb outside Christian school in Gaza
May 16, 2008GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Unknown assailants have detonated a bomb outside a Christian school in Gaza City, causing no injuries.
Damage from the pre-dawn explosion is visible at the entrance to the Zahwa Rosary School. The school is run by nuns but caters mainly to Muslim students. Friday's bombing appears to be the latest in a string of attacks on Christian institutions in the overwhelmingly Muslim territory.
In the most serious attack, a local Christian activist was murdered in October. His killers have not been found.
About 3,200 Christians live in Gaza among 1.4 million Muslims. While relations between Christians and Muslims have traditionally been good, Christians have grown uneasy since the Islamic group Hamas routed forces of the secular Fatah movement and seized control of Gaza in June.
