In power's grip

Pakistan | Musharraf plays Christians and Muslims against each other; despite election victory, military rule | Priya Abraham

Evangelist Joseph Din stopped at home in Lahore, Pakistan, one Saturday afternoon after a preaching engagement, resting before his next prayer meeting with a local family. Din, 74, liked being back in Pakistan, where he could teach scripture in Urdu and people had time to listen. He missed that after seven years in the United States.

Visitors dropped by, and Din, who lived with his sister, forgot to lock the door after they left. Suddenly two young bearded men—strangers—barged in.

"Why are you coming here?" Din asked. The two paused halfway inside the room, pulled out a gun, and shot the elderly man twice in the chest. They tried to shoot Din's sister, Nazir, but hit a wall instead. Din collapsed in his sister's arms, blood streaming out. He died in surgery about an hour later.
