The Christian Post is highlighting a story today about Coptic Christians who are planning on demonstrating in Egypt becauase of the New Year church bombings that took place. There are serious concerns because the investigation is dragging and the Copts want to know why.
Here is a snip from the article:
Malak, who did not disclose the date of the planned protest, complained that the church submitted “several reports and memorandums” to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, attorney general, and interior minister, but those documents had been ignored.
The General Congregation Council of the Coptic Church and the Egyptian Center for Development and Human Rights Studies also issued a joint statement to call on Prime Minister Essam Sharaf, Interior Minister Mansour al-Essawy, and Minister of Justice Mohamed Abdel Aziz al-Guindi to identify the bombers and publicly try them, the newspaper added.
Egyptian investigation agencies had blamed the explosion on foreigners and al-Qaida soon after the incident. But a month later, the agencies reportedly zeroed in on a local group of Islamic extremists which, they said, could have been inspired by, but not directly linked to, al-Qaida. Little has come out of the investigation since then.
