Hundreds of Muslims attack a Coptic Church in Atifh

A large group of militants attacked a Coptic Orthodox church in the village of Kafr El-Wasalin, south Cairo, after performing their Friday prayers.

The unlicensed church was built 10 years ago and Copts have been praying in it ever since. A rumor about intentions to put a bill in the church aroused the anger of the mobs, which was incited by the fanatics.
