[The Christian Post] 12 Dec 2008--For weeks the world’s attention has been focused on Mumbai, India, where coordinated terrorist attacks left nearly 200 people dead, including many foreign visitors. But some are hoping that the world will not forget to look at another terrorist attack occurring in India that has been less reported.
“In the midst of the horrendous terrorist attacks on Mumbai, we must not forget that there is another wave of terrorism gripping India,” said K.P. Yohannan, founder and president of Gospel for Asia. “I am of course speaking about the attacks on Christians by religious extremists.”
About 960 miles east of Mumbai is the state of Orissa, where Hindu extremists have been waging a war of terror against Christians since mid-August.
After four months, there have been, according to the official report, 118 deaths, most to all of whom are Christians. While the official death toll is a little more than 100, some estimate that the real number of deaths is as high as 500.
