BBC ^
Posted on 03/15/2008 2:28:05 AM PDT by Axlrose

A priest has been attacked in the grounds of his church, in what police described as a “faith-hate” crime. Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, was injured by two Asian youths at the church, in Tower Hamlets, east London.

Canon Ainsworth said a third youth watched as he suffered cuts, bruises and black eyes in the assault at the church of St George-in-the-East.

The youths also jeered at the priest for being a churchman in the attack on Wednesday night, the Met Police said.

An appeal for witnesses has been made.

For Immediate Release

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “SRI LANKA (ANS) — Militants attacked 10 students from Gospel for Asia’s Sri Lanka Bible College March 2 and are now campaigning to have the Bible College shut down.

The students were on their way to Sunday worship service at a GFA-related church when the attackers ambushed them, covered their faces and beat them up. They dragged one of the students into a van, where the radicals trampled and kicked him.

All of the students were admitted to the hospital for treatment. GFA leaders in Sri Lanka filed complaints with the police, which are cooperating in the investigation.”
