Christians Injured in Attack in Vietnam Denied Medical Care


House church network leaders finally resort to private hospital far from attack site.

Three Christians seriously injured during a savage attack near Hanoi on Nov. 13 have been evacuated to an undisclosed hospital in Ho Chi Minh City after several hospitals in the region refused to examine and treat them.
