Suspected Hindu hard-liners set an orphanage run by Christian missionaries on fire in eastern India yesterday, killing one nun and seriously injuring a priest, police said. The attack occurred in Khuntapali, a village in Orissa state, during a strike called by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) to protest Saturday’s killing of a Hindu religious leader and four others by suspected Communist rebels in another district of the state, Ashok Biswal, superintendent of police, told The Associated Press. Orissa simmered with tension yesterday with churches attacked, vehicles torched and rail and road traffic affected as thousands demonstrated in several places as part of a statewide shutdown called by the VHP to protest the killing of a leader.
