I’m trying very hard to keep track of the plight of a Christian woman that faces death at the hands of blood thirty Muslims in Pakistan. Wouldn’t it be nice if our president, Barack Obama, said more about this case for a fellow Christian in danger?He is a Christian isn’t he?
Daily News & Analysis reports that Asia Bibi, the Christian woman who triggered a blasphemy furore in Pakistan and in whose defense Punjab governor Salman Taseer lost his life, is facing a threat of a suicide attack inside a jail, where she is currently lodged.
The "Moaviya group", a militant organization plans to mount a suicide attack on Sheikhupura district jail, where 45-year-old Asia is being held, The Express Tribune quoted its sources as saying. An intelligence report issued last week has corroborated threat to her life.
Punjab police and jail authorities subsequently beefed up security due to the intelligence report and the assassination of Taseer.
Asia Bibi was sentenced to death last year after being convicted under the blasphemy law for insulting Prophet Mohammed. She denied the charge and said she was framed by a group of Muslim women with whom she had a row.
