Christians in Pakistan are seeking government protection after pro-Taliban militants sent letters to Christians, telling them convert to Islam or face violence, reported The Associated Press.
The letters were sent to about 500 Pakistani Christians in Charsadda, a town in the North West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan. The letters told them to close their churches and convert by May 17 or be the target of "bomb explosions."
