Many Pakistani Christians were injured after a church attack on Christmas morning.
A group of 50 to 60 Muslim men attacked the church with the aim to kidnap and assault the women attending the morning church service, Mission Network News reports.
Security guards at the church as well as men in attendance fought against the attackers, who used staffs as weapons. The conflict left many men of faith with injuries such as fractures and other blunt trauma wounds.
Police arrived at the church and assisted the attackers in escaping the church. Authorities then blamed those who had been attending the service for fighting back.
