Whoever was behind the bombing failed to divide the country along religious lines, says Reuters. They united it instead. There's still a threat of infighting among the country's factions, Reuters reporter Edmund Blair says, but not between Christians and Muslims. The threat now, is that the attacks "could play into the hands of extremists in trying to push the Christians out of Iraq," analyst Ghassan al-Attiyah told Blair. "That would be a disaster for the Iraqis."
The Washington Post and The New York Times similarly report displays of unity in the aftermath of the attacks. The Associated Press and a separate Reuters story focus on Christians' fears of more attacks.
