South Kordofan state in Sudan.A church pastor and three other Christians were killed in Sudan on 23 January when suspected Islamic extremists shot them to death, an area source said.
Four of the victims' travelling companions were wounded when the assailants opened fire on the team at the facility where they were spending the night in Kadugli, capital of Sudan's South Kordofan state.
Sudanese-American Pastor Ibrahim Kandr, Ismail Osman, Bashir Almaak and Ayoub Ibrahim were spending the night in Kadugli en route to their home area of Um Durein when the assailants shot them between 3am and 4am, an area church leader said.
Islamic extremists, who have been terrorizing people in the area since 2011, monitor movements in and out of town and likely saw the ministry team arrive for the night, said the church leader, whose name is withheld for security reasons.
Wounded in the attack were Imtiyas Marhy Jabdool, 29; Fadul Musa Al Haraba, 23; Zakaria Butros Al Haraba, 34; and Mujahid Hassan 19, the source said.
