'Joyful Christians'

Human Race | The murder of a pastor and his wife is another stripe of persecution for Pakistani Christians | Priya Abraham

After 11 years shepherding a small Baptist church near Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, Pastor Arif Khan, 58, and his wife Kathleen, 60, were shot dead in their home. Both were American. On the night of Aug. 29, the three suspects—one a former member of Khan's church—visited the couple's house.

Islamabad police are calling the murder a "revenge murder," but say they do not yet know the motive. Still, speculation has been high. An early news report said the ex-church member, Honey Haveed, accused Khan of having an affair with his wife, though she was never a church member. Police have arrested the couple.

Another mysterious person at the murder scene was Saeed Alam, the Haveeds' friend but unknown to the church. He reportedly fled to South Waziristan, in Pakistan's fractious Taliban-heavy tribal region.
