How dreadful, sad and pointless.
RIP to all the worshippers and their families.

In this increasingly Godless country, it does not surprise me that this tragic 'foreign' news did not hit the headlines. The only update I could find was from a French news outlet. The funerals were conducted under armed guard.

It was on the front page of the BBC news website. That's where I first saw it.

Me too, but I couldn’t find an update. It just struck me as not being classed as ‘important’. As FuzzyPuffling saiid, God sees.
