MENA, Sunday 8 May 2011

Egyptian military and police create a security belt around the two churches most recently burned in deadly sectarian violence in Giza

Egyptian armed forces and police have created a security belt around Saint Mina Church and the Virgin Mary Church in Imbaba, Giza.

A security official said that the area has now quieted down and locals are going about their daily business outside of the belt.

The two churches were attacked yesterday in clashes between Muslims and Christians that have left 12 dead.
