Mob attacks Christian guesthouse in southern Egypt

None

Officials say hundreds of people attacked a Christian guesthouse in southern Egypt after its caretakers erected a dome with a cross atop the building.

 

The mob took down the dome with the cross and accused its caretakers of trying to convert the building into a church without permits. Friday's attack took place in the town of Edfu, about 685 kilometers (425 miles) south of Cairo. (AP)
