These murders are regrettable, but I'm obviously missing something. What do Baptist missionaries and water projects have in common? How do they have any expertise on Middle East sanitation projects?

Sorry if that sounds crass, being asked so shortly after terrorists killed three of them, but this has my curiousity.

It is my understanding that several missionary groups have extensive experience in developing access to potable water in Third World nations, just as there are missionary hospitals (like the one in Yemen). Such activities are not newsworthy, unless the misisonaries are killed by terrorists, so there is no reason you would know of them.
