Yemen conflict: Pope Francis condemns 'diabolical' killing of nuns
5 March 2016 Middle East
Pope Francis has condemned the killing of 16 people, including four Catholic nuns, at an old people's home in Yemen.
He called Friday's gun attack in Aden an "act of senseless and diabolical violence".
Reports said the attackers pretended they were visiting their mothers to gain access to the home.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, though Yemeni officials have blamed so-called Islamic State.
In a statement, the Vatican said two of the nuns killed were Rwandan, one was Indian and one was from Kenya.
