The Christian death toll from last week’s suicide bombing continues to rise as Christians attempt to recover from the attack. On September 22, All Saints Church in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar was attacked by 2 suicide bomber. The bombers detonated their suicide vests full of ball bearings as members of All Saints Church were leaving the Sunday worship service. Officially, the number of Christians killed in the attack remains under 100, but according to many Christians in Peshawar, the number of killed could be well over 100 because many families brought the bodies of their loved ones home for burial before hospital workers had an opportunity to survey the scene.

Similar protests by other Christians were also reported in Karachi and Multan.
