[Preegovesem]

My wife was told by her mother this evening that two days ago a priest was shot dead by masked gunmen. They entered his church which is in the south of Moscow in the evening and shot him dead and injured the choirmaster who is in re-animation (intensive care). The attack has been blamed on Muslims who condemned the priest for attracting converts from Islam to Orthodoxy. I looked on the internet and this has been widely reported.
