The slayings of three Christians in the eastern town of Malatya highlight Turkey’s uneasy relationship with its minorities, and Christians expressed fear Thursday that growing nationalism and intolerance could lead to more violence against them. Police detained five more suspects Thursday in the attack at a Christian publishing house that distributes Bibles. Some reportedly said they carried out the killings to protect Islam

The three victims - a German man and two Turks who converted to Christianity - were found with their hands and legs tied and their throats slit. The victims had bruises on their faces and cuts on their wrists from the ropes that bound them. Christians make up just a fraction of 1 percent of Turkey’s population of 71 million.
