Two Americans, Barbara Green, a human resources employee at the embassy, and her seventeen-year-old daughter, Kristen Wormsley, a senior at the American school, were killed. Barbara's husband, Milton Green, a diplomat and director of the embassy's computer section, and their young son were also injured. One Pakistani citizen and an Afghan were also killed. The fifth victim, suspected to be one of the attackers, remains unidentified as much of his body was blown away. The attack appeared to target Americans and the government of President Pervez Musharraf. President Bush condemned the attack as "acts of murder that cannot be tolerated by any person of conscience", while President Musharraf called it a "ghastly act of terrorism".Bonner Raymond A Nation Challenged: Islamabad; 2 Americans Killed in Attack on Pakistan Church https://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/18/world/a-nation-challenged-islamabad-2-americans-killed-in-attack-on-pakistan-church.html 7 July 2024 The New York Times March 18, 2002Two Americans Die in Pakistan Blast https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=80067&page=1 7 July 2024 ABC News March 18, 2002 See also Daniel Pearl References Category:2002 murders in Pakistan 2002 bombing Category:21st-century mass murders in Pakistan Category:2002 mass murders 2002 bombing Category:March 2002 crimes in Asia Category:March 2002 in Pakistan Category:Suicide bombings in 2002 Category:Terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2002 Category:2002 building bombings Category:Church bombings in Pakistan 2002 bombing Category:Grenade attacks in Pakistan Category:2002 in Christianity Category:Terrorist incidents against Christians in the 2000s
