World: Were the slain aid workers in Afghanistan pushing Christianity?

  • The accusation is completely baseless, they were not carrying any bibles except maybe their personal bibles. … As an organization we are not involved in proselytizing at all.

The eight medical workers, among ten total people killed in the attack, were carrying bibles in Dari, one of the country’s two main languages.
