Muslim cleric held in grenade attack probe

A radical Muslim cleric who urged the faithful to attack Christians was being questioned today in connection with a deadly Christmas Day grenade attack on a Christian church in Pakistan that left three young girls dead and 13 others wounded, police said.

Two assailants covered in burqas, a traditional women’s garb, tossed a grenade into the middle of worshippers at a Christmas Day service yesterday in the village of Chianwala, around 40 miles north west of Lahore.
