Major General Faisal Dewidar, Minya director of security, denied any security threats against the church of Nazlet Nakhl which led to preventing the Copts from celebrating the holy mass.
He explained that the church has not obtained the due licenses to hold the prayers.
The church had started celebrating the holy mass 6 months ago, but the police said it is not licensed and stopped the prayers to prevent potential attacks by extremists.
