Nun Killed in Somalia, Pope's Words Possible Trigger

A nun and her bodyguard were killed Sunday while working in a children's hospital in Somalia. The unknown assailants managed to escape, after shooting at the woman three times in the back, reports say.

Benedict XVI has already apologized for his words, and shared that he is deeply sorry that people misunderstood him.
