Fears are growing for Sister Gilberte Bissiere, as it was revealed that the gunman targeted the 80-year-old and two Italian priests, but left African religious workers behind.

The group had been part of a Catholic mission to help improve water supplies and provide medical help to those with HIV and Aids.
