The phenomena of attacks launched against Copts and their belongings and lives have reemerged. This is happening especially after a number of fatwás have been issued against them and in some hot areas such as Minya, Qena, Sohag and Aswan. These places have witnessed attacks against Copts in the past. A bomb exploded in Minya close to Saint Mūsá Church close to the central security camp. The bomb was placed on the route that security forces use to reach the demonstrations of the Muslim Brotherhood.
