A Coptic Orthodox nun has died after she was accidently caught in a gunfight between rival factions in Egypt. Sister Atahanasia was being driven with two other nuns on the road between Cairo and Alexandria when her car was struck by fire.
Suspicions of a terrorist attack were quickly dismissed by investigating officers who revealed that local family clans had engaged in a firefight. A local policeman and his son also died in the shooting.
The search for the gun men responsible for the nun’s death continues.
