More than 200 were injured last Wednesday. The bloodshed was condemned by the Central American country\u2019s Episcopal Conference of Catholic bishops, which called it \u201corganized and systematic aggression\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even churches are now coming under attack.

Two people died in the church before local Church authorities intervened and those sheltering there were released.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>ACN Malta<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICARAGUA Pope calls for an end to violence as death toll reaches 110 &nbsp;
