A Catholic priest was attacked with acid on the east African island of Zanzibar in the third such unprovoked assault in two months, and remained hospitalized Saturday, the cleric told CNN.
The Rev. Joseph Anselmo Mwagambwa said he was attacked Friday afternoon while coming out of an internet cafe in Mlandenge, a community in the city of Zanzibar.
He was being treated in a hospital in the Tanzanian mainland city of Dar es Salaam.
Police are still investigating, and no arrests have been made.

What kind of sick twisted individual would attack an innocent priest? II hope they catch him soon.
The only religion mentioned in the article is "Catholic." Is there any speculation that the "unprovoked assault" involved a follower of Islam, which accounts for 97% of the population there?

Was the "Catholic priest" Roman or Anglican? That's becoming more interesting in Africa as the Anglican Communion's waters get troubled by prejudices popular on that continent.
