Gunmen Kill 15 Christians in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Unidentified gunmen on motorcycles shot dead 15 Christians at Sunday prayers in the central Pakistani town of Bahawalpur, police said.
Six men on three cycles rode up to a church and sprayed bullets at the worshippers. Dozens were injured.

"Women were among the dead," a police deputy superintendent told Reuters.

This was the first such attack on Christians in the region, he said. The area, south of Multan near the Indian border has a history of strife between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslim extremists. Up to 1,200 Muslims have died in sectarian strife in the last nine years.
