<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">CAIRO (AP) — Dozens of "instigators of chaos" have been arrested after deadly clashes between angry Christians, Muslims and security forces that left 24 dead and at least 200 wounded, Egypt's official news agency reported on Monday.
Sunday's clashes, sparked by a recent attack on a church in southern Egypt, were the worst sectarian violence since the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak in February. ...
The rioting in downtown Cairo had lasted until late into the night, bringing out a deployment of more than 1,000 security forces and armored vehicles to defend the Nile-side state television building, where the trouble began. ...
Protesters retaliated by setting fire to military vehicles, a bus and private cars, sending flames rising into the night sky. ...
After midnight, mobs roamed downtown streets, attacking cars they suspected had Christian passengers. ...
At least 24 people were killed in the clashes, Health Ministry official Hisham Sheiha said on state TV.
State media reported that Egypt's interim Cabinet was holding an emergency session to discuss the situation.
In the past weeks, riots have broken out at two churches in southern Egypt, prompted by Muslim crowds angry over church construction. One riot broke out near the city of Aswan, even after church officials agreed to a demand by ultraconservative Muslims known as Salafis that a cross and bells be removed from the building.
Aswan's governor, Gen. Mustafa Kamel al-Sayyed, further raised tensions by suggesting to the media that the church construction was illegal.
Protesters said the Copts are demanding the ouster of the governor, reconstruction of the church, compensation for people whose houses were set on fire and prosecution of those behind the riots and attacks on the church.</div></div>
Where is Obama's rage now?
