While Indians were celebrating the hard fought win over Austrailia, Pakistanis were reeling after a bomb ripped through an amusement park in Lahore and left scores dead; mostly innocent children and women. But that was not the worse of news over the weekend, many international agencies are now reporting that Father Tom Uzhunnalil, a catholic priest from Kerala who worked with Mother Teresa's Missionaries Of Charity, was crucified by ISIS on Good Friday.

He was kidnapped in Yemen in earlier this month during a raid on a nursing home run by Missionaries of Charity. 16 nurses and nuns were also killed in this raid.

His execution by the Islamist sect, using the same method used by the Romans on Jesus and marked on Good Friday every year, was confirmed at the Easter Vigil Mass by Cardinal Christoph Schonborn of Vienna, The Washington Times reported.
