A protest in Cairo, Egypt
A crowd of Egyptian Muslims angered by rumours a woman had converted to Christianity clashed with police on Friday outside the church where they believe she has taken shelter, security sources said.
The disturbances outside the church in Kom Ombo near Aswan, around 1,000km south of Cairo, were the latest case of a rumoured conversion sparking strife between Christian and Muslim communities, an incendiary issue that has often fed sectarian tensions here.
More than 20 riot police trucks deployed outside the church, and the crowd threw rocks at officers who returned fire with tear gas, state news agency Mena reported.


The family of Sahar Touni, 36, who disappeared three days earlier, have told security forces they may storm the church unless she is found in seven days, the sources said.
It was however not possible to confirm whether Sahar was in the church.
Incidents of Christian-Muslim strife have increased in Egypt, an overwhelmingly Muslim nation with a Coptic Christian minority of about ten per cent, since the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak in 2011. This gave freer rein to hardline Islamists repressed under the removed president.
