Nepali Christians face Hindu threat
June 02, 2009
A Hindu extremist group known as the Nepal Defence Army has ordered Christians to leave the country "within a month." The group threatened that any Christians who remain after that deadline will face consequences " “far worse than that attack against the Church of the Assumption.” The reference was to the recent bombing of a Catholic parish in Kathmandu, in which 2 women were killed.
