Four Nepalese United Nations Guards Killed

Four Nepalese U.N. guards were killed on April 1, 2011, in Afghanistan, after extremists stormed a United Nations compound in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. 

The mob beheaded two U.N. guards, seized their weapons and began shooting those inside the compound after a demonstration against Koran burnings in the U.S. turned violent. 

The deceased have been identified as :


Min Bahadur Thapa
Chhabi Lal Purja Pun
Narayan Bahadur Thapa Magar
Dil Prasad Gurung




Pray for these
Nepalese men
The men were former Gurkha soldiers, under contract to a firm hired to guard U.N. compounds.


Many of the demonstrators in Mazar-i-Sharif were armed and, while the security guards tried their best, the crowd was so large that they were soon outnumbered.


Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Min Bahadur Thapa, Chhabi Lal Purja Pun, Narayan Bahadur Thapa Magar and Dil Prasad Gurung are in heaven. Let us pray that they are at peace and are with God. Amen
