The Punjab police claim to have arrested one of the two men who threw bombs into a church in Chianwali, Pakistan on Christmas Day, killing three and wounding 14 others. Authorities told the Pakistani newspaper, DAWN, on January 12 that the suspect was arrested based on intelligence sources and that he has since confessed. Authorities will not reveal his identity nor if he has connections to any organization.
This arrest came only one day after more than 100 Pakistani Christians rallied in Lahore, calling on police to arrest those responsible for the attacks.
Pray that those responsible for this attack will be brought to justice. Pray for Christians in Pakistan, who have become increasingly frustrated in the face of increasing attacks.
