The Coptic Church in Egypt on Monday urged followers to fast and pray for three days to mourn Christians killed in clashes with Muslims and security forces last night. According to security sources, the death toll rose to 26 from 24 after two people died of their wounds.
The church issued the mourning statement Monday after its spiritual leader, Pope Shenouda III, met with 70 bishops. The 3-day mourning period is to begin on Tuesday, the AP reported.
