Three women and a terrorist were killed and 24 persons injured as terrorists attacked the John C. Heinrich Memorial chapel in the Mission Hospital at Taxila on August 9. According to media reports, it was unclear thus far whether the terrorist was shot by his accomplices or died from a shrapnel injury. The police have recovered a hand grenade from his body. The three women killed were staff nurses at the Mission Hospital. According to eyewitness accounts, there were approximately 200 hospital staff participating in the service when the terrorists attacked the chapel. The other two terrorists of the group managed to escape from the incident site. The hospital, which is supported by the Presbyterian Church USA and the Presbyterian Church of Pakistan, was founded in 1922 and treats mostly poor Muslim patients.
