Egypt: Calm returns to Egyptian town after Muslim-Christian riots
– DPA:
“The northern Egyptian town of Marsa Matruh was quiet on Saturday, following violent clashes between Muslims and Christians the night before, police said.
– “The clashes, which started when Muslim residents of the Mediterranean port threw stones at workers they believed were building a church, left 30 people injured and nine houses burned, and again called attention to the country’s simmering sectarian tensions.”
