Murder of Five American Nuns
A serious controversy is taking place in Liberia, where the Catholic
Church has decided to set up a commission to investigate the rape and murder
of five American nuns during the country's civil war in 1992. (...) apparently desperate to prevent the investigations due to fear of
potential legal implications, the regime of Mr. Charles Taylor has unleashed
a ferocious attack to discredit the Catholic Church and smear the reputation
of Archbishop Michael Kpakala Francis.
