Christians In Pakistan Protest After Yesterday's Bloody Terror Attack That Killed At Least 80



Pakistan Blasts: Burials Amid Anger After Peshawar Church Attack -- BBC

Burials have been taking place in the Pakistani city of Peshawar after a double suicide bombing killed at least 80 people at a church on Sunday.

But, as he swept its floors on Thursday, it was painfully obvious things had changed.

The night before, a mob -- chanting against Coptic Christians such as El Sayeh and calling for Egypt to become an "Islamic state" -- had torched and looted the Virgin Mary Church.

"I didn't expect this to happen," El Sayeh said.
