Rawalpindi : A group of about 20 Muslim fundamentalists last night attacked the Christian chapel at Gordon College, a Presbyterian founded university level educational facility in Rawalpindi. Shooting their way into the building, they got inside chapel, which they did not destroy because the police arrived. However, the latter did not intervene and has allowed the attackers to stay in the building, this according to Ms Robinson Ashgar. “The security guard, Imran, was wounded,” she told News Media.
Her husband and other Christian leaders from the Robinson Asghar Community Development Ministry (RCDM), which is leasing the building, are in South Africa at a meeting of religious leaders. Rev Samson Bhatti and other RCDM members alerted the police of the attack. Some 40 people eventually gathered in front of the chapel, demanding justice from the local administration.
