Hindu mob attacks US missionaries
 BOMBAY: Angry Hindu youths beat three American missionaries and tried to kidnap one as they held a bible studies class in Bombay, police said on Monday. About 30 or 40 men attacked the three, part of a group of eight, on Saturday night because they thought the missionaries were trying to convert Hindus in the Indian financial capital. The three were treated for bruises and cuts at a hospital but were not seriously injured, police said. "While this kind of attack is rare in Bombay, the police must take serious action against those responsible and send a clear message that religious intolerance will not be accepted in India," Bombay Catholic Sabha president Dolphy D'Souza said.
