LAHORE, Pakistan -- Pakistani police have detained at least six people, including a radical Muslim cleric, in connection with a Christmas Day attack on a church that killed three girls and wounded 14 others.
The Protestant church in Chianwala, near the town of Daska, about 70 kilometers (40 miles) northwest of Lahore was holding a special Christmas Day service for women and children when at least one grenade was hurled through an open front door by two attackers.
The six under detention are suspected of having links to Jaish-e Mohammed, a radical Kashmiri militant group that has been banned by Pakistan's government.
