They're among us, Akmal

They say they're among us, Akmal

What happened?

We were standing at the church door

He was buying a small mobile phone

Then two showed up and started shooting at people

People were falling, sprawled out at the church door, poor souls

My son ran

He grabbed my son and wouldn't let go

He runs to grab him

If they catch my son, they'll kill him next

They'll kill him

He's a suicide bomber, the one who entered the church

One was a suicide bomber and the other was shooting

Terrorists

And the first one was shooting

How many people were there?

More than two hundred people in the church

It was prayer time, just prayer

At half past six

Those who fell at the church door

More than ten, poor souls

And that's when people started to fall

Then Abu Jram's shooting began here

We ran, we fled from there

He had blown himself up; the fire shot up into the sky

The second one started up again

Not at all

We couldn't do anything anymore

No weapons, nor any strong defenders for them

We feared for those families who were lost

And the children, poor things

Now our children are suffering

Of course, what happened was a targeted attack

Since they are members of the church
