New Clashes Erupt at Egypt’s Qalioubiya Church, One Killed

CAIRO- One person was killed and 14 injured in clashes between protesters and police forces at Mar Girgis Church in Qalioubiya, north of Cairo, late Sunday, Ahram Online website said.

The Egyptian health ministry announced Monday that one person was killed by gunshot and was transferred to the Al-Khanka Hospital morgue. The identity of the deceased has yet to be revealed.

Fourteen were injured in the clashes in the Qalioubiya town of Al-Khasous and were taken to hospitals for treatment. 

The clashes in Qalioubiya coincided with an attack by unknown assailants on a funeral at Cairo’s main Coptic Cathedral, Abbasiya district, for four people that had been killed in earlier clashes in Al-Khosous.

Violence at the funeral resulted in two deaths and at least 90 injuries.

Clashes in Qalioubiya, north of Cairo, have now subsided, according to the website.

Hundreds of mourners were attending the funeral in the Cairo cathedral for four victims who were killed in violence in Al-Khosous in the early hours of Saturday.
