Egyptian officials say a Muslim mob stabbed a Coptic Christian to death over a personal feud. Bishop Macarious of the southern Minya governorate says the group attacked the families of two priests with knives and batons late on Sunday. Fam Khalaf, 27, was killed and the father of one of the priests was wounded. Police confirmed the incident and said they arrested four people. Christians make up 10% of Egypt's mostly Muslim population. Sectarian violence occasionally erupts, mainly in rural communities in the south. Islamic extremists have also targeted Christians.
