2733

A deadly attack conducted by militants on a Methodist church in Pakistan kills 9 people, with more than 20 people injured, according to officials.

The church in the city of Quetta was occupied by worshippers during the time of the attack. Two terrorists were able to penetrate the building with one of them detonating his bomb vest and the other being stopped by police.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the horrifying raid. The investigation continues to search for the other two attackers who have apparently escaped from authorities.

Our sincerest thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victims who are going through this very difficult time.
