Mobs set fire to Egyptian church

Hundreds of Christians and Muslims are hurling stones at each other in central Cairo hours after mobs set fire to a church in violence that killed 12 people and injured more than 200.

Christian activist Bishoy Tamri says Muslim youths attacked a large crowd of Coptic Christian protesters marching from the headquarters of the general prosecutor to the state television building overlooking the Nile. He says scores have been injured.
