NASHVILLE — A Southern Baptist family seriously wounded in a March 17 grenade attack on an Islamabad church has been transferred from Pakistan to an undisclosed country in Europe.
Jeff and Cindy Womble, along with their 6 1/2-year-old son, Samuel, remain hospitalized for their injuries. Cindy had a five-hour operation to put plates in her hip. Jeff has two ruptured eardrums as well as shrapnel in his ribs and legs. Samuel came out of a coma and is talking and moving.
Cindy’s parents, Reece and Frankie Nickerson of Tampa, Fla., have flown to Europe to care for the Wombles’ other children. The children were uninjured in the blast. Samuel was among those seriously wounded when an unidentified attacker hurled several hand grenades into the Protestant International Church during a March 17 worship service. Five worshipers, including two Americans, were killed and more than 40 were injured.
