Crime: On October 28, 2001 some masked gunmen forcefully entered a protestant church in eastern Pakistan, killing 18 individuals, including children, who were engaged in prayer. This attack, the most severe against Christians in Pakistan's history, occurred during a service attended by more than 100 people in the town of Bahawalpur.
Those who were able to save their life told the reporters that attackers locked the doors from inside and declared that Pakistan will become a graveyard of Christians for the deaths of innocent people in Afghanistan before they started spraying the bullets all around the hall.
War: On October 28, 1940 Mussolini’s army invaded Greece. Mussolini's unexpected decision to invade Greece took everyone by surprise, including his ally Adolf Hitler. Hitler was surprised because Mussolini had told him earlier that he wasn't planning to do that. Hitler criticized the invasion as a significant strategic mistake, believing that Mussolini should have focused on North Africa and pushed further into Egypt. Even Mussolini's own chief of army staff was left in the dark and only learned about the invasion after it had already begun.

Religion: On October 28, 312, the 32-year-old Roman emperor Constantine achieved a significant and decisive victory over his rival Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, a crucial event in Roman history. This battle took place near the Tiber River, just outside the city of Rome, and it marked a pivotal moment in Constantine's rise to power. Before the battle, according to historical accounts, he saw the symbol of Jesus, chi-rho, in a vision, accompanied with the words “By this sign conquer.” That is why he is considered Rome’s first Christian conqueror by some.
Mafia: On October 28, 2014 Italian President Giorgio Napolitano underwent three hours of questioning by judges concerning a case related to clandestine negotiations between the government and Sicilian Mafia leaders during the 1990s. The hearing was held in the Quirinal Palace in Rome behind closed doors. No media was allowed. Almost 40 people took part in the court sitting, including 10 defendants.
Napolitano himself is not accused of any crime and was only called on as a witness. Earlier, the Italian president said that he had nothing to tell the court, however he did agree to testify.
