"I urge you to pray for Lebanon, where there has been a serious anti-Christian attack today". These are the words that ended Mass, celebrated today by card. Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican Secretary of State, within the national meeting of Opera romana pellegrinaggi, which is in progress in Rome (until tomorrow), about "Paths of Europe". "Let’s pray for this terribly tortured land went on the cardinal for which the Pope has made several appeals already". The attack of Bikafaya, on Mount Lebanon, at the heart of the Maronite area just south-east of Beirut, involved two bombs placed on two "micro-buses" that burst out at the same time; three people died and about 20 were injured. What card. Bertone defined a "serious anti-Christian attack" took place on the eve of the second anniversary of the murder of former prime minister Rafiq Hariri, which is going to be celebrated tomorrow. The risk of accidents in Beirut is high says some local sources for commemorations that will in fact be like a rally in support of prime minister Fuad Siniora.
