Egypt's Coptic community in fear following attack outside church
(Vatican Radio) Egypt’s government and religious leaders have condemned an attack outside a Coptic church in Cairo on Sunday that killed four people including an 8 year old girl. It was the latest in a series of attacks targeting the country’s Coptic Christian minority following the ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood-led government in July. Michael Meunier is a Egyptian Copt and democracy activist and he told Susy Hodges that providing more armed guards to protect Christian churches is only part of the answer to prevent further attacks.
