At least 13 people died in a conflict between Christians and Muslims in Cairo, said on state TV channel in Egypt on Wednesday.
Other 90 people were injured in the clashes. Sectarian violence came after hundreds of Coptic Christians on Tuesday staged a protest near the Egyptian television building to protest against the burning of the Church of St. Mina and St. George in Soul, 18 kilometers south of Cairo, on Saturday.
Muslim mob burned a church the weekend after residents discovered that a local Christian man was in a romantic relationship con una mujer musulmana, segun reportes.
El martes, unos 500 manifestantes coptos de Manshier Nasr, también conocido como “La Ciudad Basura,” estaban en camino para unirse a la protesta en la televisora egipcia por la construcción de la iglesia quemada cuando se encontraron con miles de musulmanes de la zona de Sayeda Aisha y Mokattam. Los musulmanes estaban armados con pistolas automáticas, según la Agencia Internacional de noticias asiria (AINA).
En un principio lanzaron piedras contra los manifestantes coptos. Después, arrojaron bombas molotov contra ellos.
Finalmente, los militares llegaron al lugar del conflicto y, al parecer just stopped and looked initially. Then fired into the air and then fired live ammunition into the side Coptic, as AINA based on witness reports Copts.
