American woman and her Pakistan-American husband killed in Islamabad
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - The minister of a Christian church in Pakistan and his American-born wife have been shot to death.
The suspect is identified as a fellow Christian who police say did it as an "honor" killing, believing the pastor had been having an affair with the man's wife.
The victims are identified as Kathleen Khan and her husband Arif Khan, who had U.S. and Pakistani citizenship.
Police in Islamabad say the Khans were found last night in their home.
A spokesman says the Reverend Kahn was pastor of a small church in nearby Rawalpindi.
Christians are a tiny minority in predominantly Muslim Pakistan. Killings in the name of restoring a family's perceived honor are not uncommon.
