Armed assault on Catholic church in Egypt
March 09, 2015
Armed men attacked a Coptic Catholic church in Egypt in the early hours of Monday morning, March 9, wounding a police guard and setting off an explosive device.
Bishop Adel Zaki, the apostolic vicar of Alexandria, told the Fides news service that the attack on the church in Kafr el-Dawar, in the Nile delta, is probably related to other recent attacks on Christian institutions. He said that the attackers may be trying to convey the idea that Egypt is politically unstable.
