Eighteen-year sentence for Turkish teen who murdered Catholic priest

 

Istanbul, Oct 5, 2007 / 10:06 am (CNA).- A Turkish teen has been sentenced for killing a priest, the Associated Press reports.

The killing took place last year during a worldwide controversy over derogatory caricatures of Mohammed that were published in European newspapers.  The priest was killed while he was knelt in prayer.
