ISTANBUL, Turkey — Assailants yesterday slit the throats of three employees of a publishing house that distributes Bibles, the latest in a series of attacks targeting Turkey’s small Christian minority.
The attack added to concerns in Europe about whether the predominantly Muslim country — which is bidding for membership in the European Union — can protect its religious minorities. It also underlined concerns about rising Turkish nationalism and hostility toward non-Muslims.
