Catholic Village Victim of Surprise Attack: Four Killed
KARACHI, Pakistan (NC) — Four Catholics were killed when seven men carrying police rifles raided the Catholic village of Isser-io-Goth in West Pakistan. The raiders murdered the village headman and three other men. The rest of the people escaped by hiding in the tall sugar cane plantations bordering the village. The assassins looted the homes of about $800 in cash and jewels. Priests at the village attribute the attack to jealousy at the rapid progress made by the Catholic villagers in recent years. Through hard work they turned the barren wastes into a fertile agricultural community.
