Saturday, May. 27, 2006

A leading member of a militant Islamic organization based in Pakistan is funding its activities through the sale of Christian children into slavery, according to a Christian persecution watchdog group.

The militant Islamic organization, Gul Khan, is said to abduct children between the ages of six to twelve from their homes in remote Christian villages in the Punjab and incarcerate them in deplorable conditions until they are sold, reported U.K.-based Barnabas Fund on Thursday. Children supposedly sold into the sex trade or a life of domestic servitude sell for about $1,700 each. story
