Open Doors reports that the bodies of 70 Christians have been found beheaded inside a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the latest devastating attack on believers by Islamists in the northeast of the country.
According to sources in the field reporting to Open Doors, the attacks happened at around 4 a.m. last Thursday, February 13, when suspected Muslim jihadists from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an armed group with ties to the Islamic State (ISIS), approached homes in Mayba, saying: “Get out, get out and don’t make any noise.”
Twenty Christian men and women came out with their hands up. They were immediately taken captive.
