American Missionary Shot by Terrorists

“A Christian missionary is fighting for her life after being shot in the head in Karachi, Pakistan, in an apparent terrorist attack. Fifty-five-year-old Debra Lobo was hit twice when four men fired shots from motorbikes as she was leaving work. Lobo has lived in Pakistan for 30 years and is married with two children. She serves as vice principal of Jinnah Medical and Dental College. Lobo has been hospitalized with two bullet wounds, one in the chin and one in the arm. According to police, ‘The initial investigation suggests that this was a pre-planned terrorist attack and was made over the lady because of her national identity.’ The gunmen, who escaped, left a leaflet in her car with her name on it saying they had targeted her because she was American. According to The Guardian, the English version of the leaflet read: ‘Oh crusaders, we are the lions of Dualat al Islamia, the falcons of the caliph. Today we killed this Kansas lady Lobo, we shall lie and wait and ambush you and kill you wherever you may be and confine and besiege you in America and then God willing ... we will burn America.’ The gunmen claim in the leaflet the attack was revenge for the death of five militant suspects who were killed the day before.”
