190 Face Military Trials In Egypt After Deadly Muslim-Coptic Violence

In Egypt, 190 people have been detained and will face military trials in Egypt's Supreme Military Court after Muslim-Christian violence in Cairo killed 10 and wounded 186. BBC News reports that the violence began after several hundred Salafist Muslims gathered outside the Coptic Christian Saint Mena Church to protest a rumor that a Christian woman was being held there against her will because she had married a Muslim man and wanted to convert. After a repelled attempt earlier in the day to storm the church, Saint Mena's and another church along with some homes were set on fire. Gunfire was also heard.  A statement by Egypt's Supreme Military Council said that a committee will assess the damage and restore the damaged property.  The Council, in a statement published on its Facebook page, warned of severe dangers facing the country during the current transition period.
