EGYPT - One dead in clashes between Christians and Muslims

"At least one person remained on the floor and several were injured when clashes broke out on March 8 in the popular district of Moqattam in Cairo," recounts the English-language daily. Copts had organized a sit-in to protest the fire that destroyed one of their churches on March 7. They were attacked by dozens of Salafis.

Some local residents said they heard gunshots. A Coptic died. Tensions are vivid in recent months between Christians and Muslims.
