Minya, 29 Nov. (AKI) - Three people were killed and several injured in clashes between minority Coptic Christians and Muslims in the Upper Egyptian governorate of Minya, daily Al-Ahram reported Friday.
The clashes broke out late on Thursday when a local Muslim got into a fight with a Copt over the construction of a wall in village outside Minya, the paper cited the city's Coptic Orthodox Archbishopric as stating.
Two Muslims and a Coptic Christian were killed in sectarian clashes after the fight in Nazlet Abeed village escalated, the daily said.
There has been a spike in attacks on Coptic churches, monasteries, homes and businesses in Upper Egypt since the army ousted on Islamist president Mohamed Morsi on 3 July after mass protests against his rule.
