Pastor Maher Fouad escaped unhurt when the bomb exploded last Tuesday at a garage. Although the windows of his bus were shattered by the explosion, Pastor Maher was not hurt and "praised the Lord for God’s protection," a statement on his church’s website said. Pastor Maher leads a Christian radio station which broadcasts to up to 8 million people in and around Baghdad. Despite countless death threats, he has no intention of leaving, he told CBN.
