Copts gunned down in Egypt after Easter vigil |
2009-04-20 |
[Al Arabiya Latest] Muslim gunmen shot dead two Coptic Christians as they left church after an Easter vigil in southern Egypt, in an apparent five-year-old vendetta, a security official said Sunday. A third Copt was wounded in the attack Saturday night in Hagaza village, near the town of Qena, the official said, adding that police identified the four assailants who fled. "There is a vendetta between the family of the accused and the family of the victims. A member of the victims' family killed a relative of the accused in 2004," he said. Vendettas between clans in southern Egypt often drag on for several years, at times with bloody results, despite the efforts of government-appointed mediators. |
