Egyptian Christians and military clash 
Egypt’s Christians protest against riot deaths As Egypt’s Coptic Christians protest for greater protection after a deadly church bombing, their brethren in Europe could now be under threat.
It has emerged that even before the New Year’s blast, Germany’s Coptic bishop had warned Berlin about possible dangers to his community. And police in France are checking reports of threats there.
It is feared Coptic Christians in Egypt and abroad could be targeted around Christmas, which for them falls on January 7.
Some 21 people died and dozens more were injured in this weekends’ attack by a presumed suicide bomber in Alexandria. It has stirred deep sectarian tension in Egypt where security has been stepped up.
