    POPE Benedict has deplored the killing of an Italian nun in Somalia, saying that he hoped her sacrifice could lead to respect among religions.

    Gunmen shot dead sister Leonella Sgorbati and her bodyguard on Sunday outside a children's hospital in north Mogadishu where she had worked since 2002.

    The attack drew immediate speculation of links to Muslim anger over Pope Benedict's recent remarks on Islam but no direct link has been proven.

    The Pope expressed his condolences over the death in a telegram to the head of the nun's religious order.

    “While repeating a firm deploration for any form of violence, His Holiness hopes that the blood that has been shed by such a faithful disciple of the Gospel can sow hope for the building of real fraternity among people with reciprocal respect of everyone's religious convictions,” the telegram said.

    Sr Sgorbati, born in 1940 in Piacenza in northern Italy, was from the Missionaries of the Consolation order based in Nepi, near Rome.

    The nun was old and was doing yoeman's service in a country where no one wants to be.

    What a reward for selfless devotion!

    Heavens Bless the Barbarians.

            Hmm, gee, I guess it was the Eskimos then. Or maybe Martians. Those Martian bastards can be really tricky.

            God, I hope you're joking.

                There is no evidence the sky is blue either.

                    No, the Moslems did not do it.

                    Just Allah's wish!

                      "Gunmen shot dead sister Leonella Sgorbati and her bodyguard"

                      What is the world coming to when a nun needs a bodyguard?

                        Go to Somalia and you will require a bodyguard even when you visit the toilet.

                          Go to most any predominately Muslim country and you might need a bodyguard. They might pack explosives under the seat or something like that.

                              I was reading the newspaper the other day where I saw 2 articles next to each other:

                              Muslims say Pope's apology doesn't go far enough.

                              -next to it-

                              Murdered nun forgives her killer.
