Gunmen shoot up an Egyptian Coptic wedding, kill three
Gunmen on motorcycles opened fire on a wedding party outside a Coptic Christian church in Cairo Monday, killing three people, including an eight-year old girl and injuring nine others. There was no claim of responsibility. DEBKAfile: Egypt’s 6-11 million native Coptic adherents are periodically victimized by Muslim extremists and their churches vandalized. They are now accused of backing the military coup against the Muslim Brotherhood and, like security and military targets, subject to terrorist violence.
