Young man of Dahshur dies, and Copts flee

 Hani A. from Dahshur village affiliated to Badrasheen, Giza, told Copts United that 500 Christians of the village have fled to their relatives in different cities as they fear any violent actions of their Muslim neighbors after the death of a young Muslim man called Moaaz Mohammed (19) today.

Moaaz was passing by during a fight between a Christian ironer and a Muslim man who later called his family and burned the house of the Christian man. Moaaz was burnet by a Molotov cocktail and died today in hospital.
It's worth mentioning that police have arrested the Christian man and his family who were charged of first degree murder attempt, while no Muslims involved in the fight were arrested.
