Christian groups in India are mourning the killing of a prominent Christian worker who had converted from Islam and who was shot dead at a bus stop in front of his home in the state Kashmir. The Global Council of Indian Christians has demanded that the federal police fully investigate the killing of Bashir Tantray, the slain man, who worked in his spare time for the church group. People close to him said he was gunned down by motor-cycle borne Islamic militants. (Ecumenical News International)
