Pakistan grenade attack kills three nurses

THREE Pakistani nurses were killed yesterday when attackers hurled grenades at women leaving a church at a Christian hospital near Islamabad.

About 26 other Pakistanis, mostly nurses, were wounded in the second attack this week against Christian or Western interests in Pakistan.

One of the attackers was also killed in the assault in Taxila, 25 miles northwest of the capital, regional police commander Moravet Shah said.
