China’s state media and Islamabad have blamed South Korean missionaries for the abduction and murder of two Chinese nationals in Pakistan, accusing them of misguiding the duo into preaching Christianity in a region influenced by radical Islam. The ministry statement didn’t say if the Korean was from North or South Korea but Chinese media was quick to blame South Korean preachers. An editorial in the state-run Global Times said the killings were likely the outcome of a conflict between South Korean missionary agencies and local terrorists. The two were allegedly brought to Pakistan by a South Korean Christian organisation to conduct missionary work, it said. The student, it said, had participated in several South Korean underground missionary events.
