Cops and Copts clash in Egypt over church construction...

Police in Egypt have clashed with hundreds of Coptic Christians over the construction of a new church.

One protester was killed and dozens of people were injured as police fired tear gas and the Christians threw stones and petrol bombs.

The Christians said they had permission to build the church, in Cairo's Giza district, but officials said they did not have the proper permit.

Protests on this scale are rare from Egypt's Christians. More...
