India: 'Christian leaders held an emergency meeting in Manipur, India, on April 22 to plan their response to an attack on a church in Thoubal district. The Rev. S. Prim Vaiphei said a mob of 200 Hindus overpowered a police patrol and set fire to the Believer’s Church on April 19. Damage to the building, still under construction after previous attacks, was estimated at around 445,000 rupees ($10,350). Following a similar attack in November 2004, authorities ordered police protection for the church during the construction phase. Villagers have now asked church members to abandon the premises or “face the consequences.”' (Compass Direct)
