ROME (RNS) A chilling eyewitness account of a deadly attack on a Catholic nursing home in Yemen has detailed how four nuns were sought out by gunmen who then executed them before destroying the Christian symbols in the residence’s chapel.

According to the lone surviving nun, the attackers entered the complex in Aden at around 8:30 a.m. on March 4 and first killed a guard and driver.
