“Shooter came back to kill me, survivor says
Youngest Jewish Federation victim testifies”
By TRACY JOHNSON
P-I REPORTER
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Layla Bush was sprawled on the floor, bleeding and trying to count the gunshots she heard down the hallway to figure out how many rounds the gunman had left.
By the time she’d counted to about five, she realized she couldn’t move anyway. She wouldn’t be able to call 911, she told jurors Wednesday, and worse — the gunman had returned.
“He came back around, and at that point I saw him with both hands on the gun — taking more time to aim, it looked like to me,” she testified in King County Superior Court. “I believe he was trying to shoot to kill me.”
Bush took the witness stand Wednesday against Naveed Haq, a 32-year-old man accused of ranting about Jewish people and U.S. foreign policy as he walked the halls of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle and opened fire.
One woman was killed in the July 28, 2006, rampage in Belltown. Bush, now 24, was shot in the abdomen and again in the shoulder as she lay partially propped up against a bookcase, she told jurors. Four others were seriously wounded.”

“Witnesses detail shooting at Jewish Federation”
By Natalie Singer
Seattle Times staff reporter
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “As witnesses in Naveed Haq’s trial told of the carnage that befell the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle nearly two years ago, attorneys for the defense and prosecution Wednesday worked to coax from them subtle details that could help decode for a King County jury the mood and mind-set of the shooter.”

“We will burn you like Graham Staines”
Gospel for Asia
For Immediate Release
“This Orissa church building was attacked by anti-Christian extremists in 2007.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “ORISSA, INDIA (ANS) — Two young women from a Gospel for Asia Bible college were chased and threatened by 70 anti-Christian extremists after conducting a worship service in Orissa, India. Chunile Wyn and Preeja Sushan are student missionaries serving their internship in Orissa.
On Sunday, the extremists entered the building where the women were worshipping with 15 other believers. The radicals carried sticks and stones, but all the Christians escaped the church unharmed.
However, Chunile and Preeja were still in the building, and the anti-Christians surrounded them and shouted threats.
“We will burn you alive like Graham Staines and his children!” they shouted at the women. Graham Staines, an Austrailian missionary in Orissa, was burned to death in 1999. Religious extremists set fire to the vehicle Staines and his two young sons were sleeping in, killing them all.
The extremists eventually let the women out of the church, but then chased them through the streets until the girls found a phone booth. Chunile and Preeja called their Bible college, and a pastor came to protect them. By the time he arrived, the extremist crowd had dispersed, leaving only threats that the women must never come back to their village.
Chunile and Preeja request prayer that they can continue their internship without fear. They also ask for prayer that the anti-Christians will realize Christ’s love for them and stop hindering the Gospel. Also lift up the district pastor in this area, that he will be able to stand strong and encourage the local believers.”
