Officials: Bomb detonated in empty church in Egypt
As Egyptian unrest continues it’s obvious that some want to turn political dissatisfaction into sectarian civil warfare, I would look at the usual suspects such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, and others who have used this formula to enhance their power. (See past instances of sectarian warfare in Balochistan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, India Parachinar, Kashmir, the Philippines, etc. : you will notice a standard signature to these incidents where holy places are attacked to incite.)
Assailants detonated a bomb Saturday in an empty church in a small town in northern Egypt, causing little damage and no injuries, security officials said.
Smoke billowed from the windows of the church and the assailants also snatched a cross from outside the building, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the incident with reporters. They said the assailants escaped. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
The attack in the town of Rafah, on the border with the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, comes amid unprecedented political unrest sweeping Egypt. For nearly two weeks, protesters have staged mass rallies to demand the ouster of longtime Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak
