Posted: 10 April, 2000

On January 6th, Mission Network News originally reported a deadly attack on Coptic Christians in Egypt. The latest news in this case is that Egypt's chief prosecutor has now charged 136 people in connection with that lethal three-day riot between Muslims and Christians. Investigators do not believe the El-Kusheh riots were religiously motivated. The report was the government's first on the riots. Those arrested face charges of incitement, murder, attempted murder, robbery and damage to property.
